I would really give this 2 1/2 stars if I could. This book gives me lots of hope for the others in the series. I liked that she didn't think of herself as ugly just because she was bald (although she did want hair).

For being so distant from people, she wasn't strange(if you don't count that she's bald)and she had a backbone. Dokey described it in a way that made sense to me. I'd never been a none believer of love-at-first-sight but I never really thought about it in deapth till now. Plus the whole love-at first-sight thing was sort of clarified. Like the other Dokey books you hear a lot about the 'heart' but it didn't bother me like it did in the other one.

The story sure has its differences: Rapunzel is bald, the sorceress is good, a prince is involved but isn't the only one to take credit in saving Rapuzel, and Rapunzel doesn't get stuck in a tower until near the last quarter of the book. Rapunzel starts off by telling us that the tale we have grown up with about her is inaccurate and she precedes to tell us the real story. It is the most satisfying book I've read of the series so far (I've read 3 of them just so you know). I have no real complaints about this book. You'll just have to experience it yourself:) But who really hates fairy tales? Can't say more that would convey correctly how much gladness I felt after reading this. If you love fairy tales a definite must read, if you despise them steer clear. I won't attempt to explain, it's done better in the book. The author supplied the best 'love at first sight' explanation I've encountered in a book. There is of course the sappy message, but you know it made sense in a real life level. Rapunzel is spunky and her relationship with Harry is what really shines in this story. Unlike last time (with Sunlight and Shadow)the length didn't hurt the book. The sorceress isn't evil and Rapunzel doesn't end up with a prince per say. What? Yeah I didn't think I could get on board with this but it worked. I'm seriously thinking about reading ALL Rapunzel retellings to see if there is one out there that can do it better than Dokey. Exactly what a true fairy tale should be. I wanted to hug this book literally when I was done.
