A Rapunzel-inspired fantasy with some interesting twists and ideas, but the romance and character dynamics did not work for me. There are good concepts buried in the story, but too many elements pulled me out of the experience. Overall I would explain this book with the following emojis: ⋯ ⋯ ⋯ ❔ ❔ ❔ ⋯ ⋯ ⋯ ❔ ❔ ⋯ ⋯ ⋯ ⋯ 🤮 🤮 🤮 🙄 🙄 ⋯ ⋯ ⋯ 🤯
