I'm so dissappointed in this book. I feel that somewhere in the middle I started reading the same book over again, I even think almost whole chapters were identical... Rapunzel keep feeling sorry for herself over and over and over, while telling her lifestory. Some vague mentioning about her ancestry in relation to the magic properties of her hair, but I never really understood what Gretta wanted with it. Healingpotion? Certainly not a beautypotion since she remained ugly throughout the whole book... And in the end suddenly everything happens at once: Henry is the dragon (daah...No kidding! ), big epic dejavu-like fight going on, every character suddenly knows the whole secret (refering to Pepper and Edwin) and EVERYTHING works out perfectly for everyone, except the bad, wicked witch (who, confusingly, at moments in the book was tried portraited as a person with deeper feelings, love-like feelings. Notice the "tried".). The book ended up to be, for me, a big cliche and an even bigger dissappointed. This is the best book ever! I am an almost 13 year old girl who loves to read fantasy novels. I first heard about his author when I was younger (about 9-10) and read her “Magic of Finkleton” series (also very wonderful books). I absolutely loved the plot and couldn't set the book down once I picked it up. I loved the idea of rewriting a fairy tale with a different story. The author has amazing technique that draws the reader in and grabs them from the first page. It has a wonderful story line. You can really connect with the character and feel the power of the story. This book deserves 5 stars! Amazing book that everyone should read.
