A steampunk Rapunzel retelling with references to Tangled, Arthurian legends, and Jane Austen. A beautiful fairytale!

What a fun quick YA read! What’s not to love a fractured fairytale, ancient lore, steampunk & dragons!

This was such a fun read! I loved it. I really enjoy this authors style of writing. This book was intriguing and action packed. And the cover is stunning!

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own

What a interesting take on Rapunzel. I really loved this book. The mix of steampunk, fairytale, and Arthurian legends was perfect and made a fascinating story that I couldn't put down. I really hope there will be more in this series because it's so good.

I can't even begin to express how much I needed this right now but I'm so glad I finally got to it! You're not getting a detailed review this time because you need to just read it. Read it. Go in as blind as possible, it's worth it!
