review 1: When I saw the cover and title of this book, I absolutely had to read it. But after the first few sentences I knew I was in a for a book-full of disappointment. Character - Rapunzel was pathetic. She was so naive and almost stupid, not picking up on things that should have been obvious. I couldn't root for her or even connect, because she kept making such stupid decisions and saying stupid things. She acts like a 17 year old when she's supposed to be over 200 years old. It just didn't ring true. Gretta - Confusing beyond belief, no clear desire or motive. Rapunzels Father - I hated him so much by the end of the book. He had so many inconsistencies, it was ridiculous. Writing style/syntax - Awful. This sounds like a first novel written by someone who didn't bother to revise... more at all. It's no wonder that it's self published, any editor would want to give it a complete overhaul. Plot - Ok. There was so many points that I thought would be so interesting, but they were not at all well written. Hilton brought up a lot of points about eternal life and legitimate problems, but they were written so badly. Overall - I wouldn't recommend this to anyone. If Hilton did a complete overall, editing and revising I think it has great potential! But if this is the finished project, not worth the read.
review 2: I was really excited to read this book. I love fairytale retellings and felt that this book had had so much potential to be great. Unfortunately, it was anything but.This has to be one of the worst books I have read so far this year. Whole chapters were copied and pasted, the first seven chapters were not even needed, and irregular POV changes, that had no reason to even be in the story, all combined to make this a horrible book. The story had huge plot holes, unrelateable characters, and a 268 year old protagonist that acted like a 14 year old. I will never recommend this book to anyone, nor will I read another book by this author. less

really great ending, but the way there was dragging and a bit dull.
