This book was really everything I hoped for when picking up this series. The pacing is fantastic. The characters are fun, dynamic, and experience character growth that I loved to watch. The romances of the prior 2 books continued to be developed in the background and they felt meaningful and good. There were some cringy moments from one of the characters, but it felt in the realm of how that character acts so it was okay. But overall this book was just a real page-turner. It is also fun how true to the original fairytale this rapunzel retelling was while also being distinct and unique. I think way too often cinderella and beauty and the beast are re-done while other fun fairytales are ignored. It was really enjoyable and fun. Definitely a YA dystopian book. But a solid edition to the genre.
