Going into this, I didn't really expect so much detail on Gothel's backstory. We always hear small details about what villains want and what got them there, but I rarely get to see such a detailed backstory laid out that explains what they once were like and what happened to shape them and darken their hearts. I honestly feel bad for Gothel - she got a shitty deck of cards, but that's no excuse to ruin someone else's life.
I hated the odd sisters. Something didn't sit well with me from the moment they appeared, but I tried to give them the benefit of the doubt for Gothel's sake. The farther along the book got, the more I grew to hate them. They truly are witches! Annoying ones at that.
It's cool that the end of the book talked over the events of the movie, Tangled. It's cool to see both points of view instead of just one, you know? Man, this story is full of drama, though.
Jacob is BY FAR the best character, easily my favorite (with Mrs. T close behind). I want a story just around him and his backstory, who he once was and who he was to Manea. Is there one? I'll have to check because he is honestly the best. And OF COURSE, the best character has to die T.T Not gonna lie, I almost cried.
To be honest, toward the end, it felt like a lot of buildup only to fall as flat as a cake when you slam the oven door. It left me feeling unsatisfied and just... meh. The ending evoked nothing from me - no smiles, tears, laughter. Nothing.
Overall, it wasn't bad, especially if you like fairy tails or witches, but it just felt lackluster and disappointing at the end.

"Our sins always catch up to us."
Especially when Mrs. Jessica Fletcher is on the case! :D
As a Murder, She Wrote super fan, it's only natural that I'd LOVE this book. I've read several already and have loved them all! It's like the characters jumped off the screen and into the book, they are captured perfectly.
"Real life doesn't come with order; it brings chaos."
This one threw me for a loop and went much deeper than I expected. It wasn't predictable, at least not to me, and I was pleasantly surprised that it mentioned the dark web.
I'm not sure why, but Mrs. Fletcher seemed so sassy in this book, which I'm totally not complaining about lol
"Jessica Fletcher. Patron saint of lost souls." "I believe that's already Saint Anthony's job."
The Murder, She Wrote books never fail to make me smile, that's a fact, but this one made me guffaw like I lost all sense. There were so many sassy and funny parts in this volume, I love it!
"You do know I'm a federal agent? She knows I'm a federal agent, right?" "Oh, She knows."
