What Once Was Mine
What Once Was Mine: A Twisted Tale | Liz Braswell
The 12th installment in the NYT best-selling series asks: What if Rapunzel's mother drank a potion from the wrong flower? Desperate to save the queen and her unborn child, the Corona guards seek the all-healing sundrop flower, but mistakenly acquire the glowing moondrop flower instead. It does cure the queen, and she delivers a healthy baby girl with hair as silver and gray as the moon. But soon it becomes clear that the princess's hair is dangerous. And for her safety, and the safety of the kingdom, Rapunzel is locked in a tower and put under the care of powerful goodwife, Mother Gothel. For eighteen years, Rapunzel stays locked away, knowing she must protect others from her intense power. But when she is drawn out of the only home she's ever known, she gets caught up in a quest across the kingdom with two thieves-a young woman named Gina who also happened to be raised by a goodwife, and Flynn, a rogue on the run. And Rapunzel learns that there may be more to her story, and her magical tresses, than she ever knew.

I loved this book! I‘m kinda mad at myself for waiting so long to read it. Tangled is my favorite Disney movie, and this reimagining is very clever. It‘s a bit of a chunkster but such a quick read (at least it was for me) and so entertaining!

He wanted to spend more time with his friends back in the magical kingdom. After all his complaining, it wasn‘t much, really, making up a story for his sister.
He liked to think Flynn would have done the same.

Alright, so I did not get through this one as quickly as So This is Love. Honestly it was not my favorite. I enjoyed the story, but it did not fit the characters. It just didn‘t have the Tangled feeling to it. Maybe it was because it was a character retelling the story during a story. I was very intrigued by the new hair though. Still a good book but not my favorite retelling.

This was such a different read. It didn‘t just tell one story but two. It was interesting to see Rapunzel through a different angle. It showed more of her personality. It was truly an incredible story. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

A fun romp & a quick read despite a lengthy page count. Follows the traditional tale closely at first, but then spins off into new twists, characters, & cute, adventurous fun. Presented as a story within a story a la the movie The Princess Bride, the arrangement wasn't executed well & pulled me out of the story. Despite my issues with storyline interruptions, the central tale was good & easy to breeze through. An enjoyable guilty pleasure read.

Then we have Almost There in 2022 based on The Princess and the Frog written by Farrah Rochon (first twisted tales book) and a currently untitled book based on Pinocchio from the focus of the blue fairy by Elizabeth Lim also in 2022.
