She tried to mend her broken heart but her love lingers, pulsing in the magic tendrils of her hair. Beyond the castle walls, Rapunzel waits in her crumbling tower, gathering news of her beloved from those who come to her seeking wisdom. Now king, he weds his intended and the kingdom rejoices when a daughter named Snow White is born. Overcome, he climbs her long golden hair to her tower and they spend an afternoon of passion together, but by nightfall the prince must return to his kingdom, and his betrothed. In an enchanted forest, the maiden Rapunzel’s beautiful voice captivates a young prince hunting nearby. I love fairy tale retellings, they are one of my favorite subgenres of fantasy and like Beauty, and other works by Carolyn Turgeon, the combination of fairytales promised in The Fairest of Them All pulled me in.
