What is not to love about a retelling where the heroine takes matters into her own hands and does most of the saving?

A Young Adult version of Rapunzel set in and around 15th century Hagenheim, this begins as a village tale, quickly becomes a travel adventure, and then a coming of age/country girl in the city tale. It features a thinking Rapunzel who wants to learn to read and calls out to God for guidance, her complicated midwife mother, evil villains, a brave but grumpy knight, the aristocracy in the castle and their servants. 

Definitely a book that I will recommend to readers of YA (or not), historical and inspirational fiction. Just a lovely read.
