What Once Was Mine by Liz Braswell
5.0

This is now my favorite of the Twisted Tales it made my favorite Disney film better than it was already I loved the changes and every addition to the story was wonderful it also still had that perfect ending that I loved so much from the original version. I loved the characters so much especially Rapunzel and Eugene and Gina as well they were such amazing characters. Rapunzel a lot like she was in the film with a few differences she did more for herself other than that she was that same fun yet more cautious girl that I still loved so very much. I loved the quick romance of her and Eugene or Flynn as he was known throughout most of the book it was an instant connection that I just loved so much I loved how that ended. I loved the changes Gina brought a strong adventurous character that became a sister to Rapunzel by the end and quite possibly an actual sister to Eugene. I loved the plot it has a similar set up to Tangled yet it has a Princess Bride story telling style that I just loved so much.
SpoilerRapunzel is given to Gothel to protect others as well as herself she grows up knowing of the dangers of her power Rapunzel loves the lights she sees every year and wants to see them but Gothel will not take her so she decides to leave once she sees Flynn and that way she could see the lights she meets Gina along the way they find Flynn other things happen she falls in love is very confused about many things some other things happen she gets kidnapped she manages to escape after awhile with the help of her friends goes back to the castle meets her parents and there is an happy ever after.
So overall I loved this book so much will read more of these once more is out.
