Representaion To Books Grounded: The Adventures of Rapunzel (Tyme #1)
In all of Tyme, from the Redlands to the Grey, no one is as lucky as Rapunzel. She lives in a magic tower that obeys her every wish; she reads wonderful books starring herself as the heroine; her hair is the longest, most glorious thing in the world. And she knows this because Witch tells her so---her beloved Witch, who protects her from evil princes, the dangerous ground under the tower, even unhappy thoughts. Rapunzel can't imagine any other life.Then a thief named Jack climbs into her room to steal one of her enchanted roses. He's the first person Rapunzel's ever met who isn't completely charmed by her (well, the first person she's met at all, really), and he is infuriating-- especially when he hints that Witch isn't telling her the whole truth. Driven by anger at Jack and her own nameless fears, Rapunzel descends to the ground for the first time, and finds a world filled with more peril than Witch promised ... and more beauty, wonder, and adventure than she could have dreamed.

This book took a while--about fifty pages--to hit its stride. The beginning is so boring and confusing that I nearly gave up...but then it got really good. I loved Rapunzel (and her character development, wow) and Jack and I really really loved the world-building (the Shattering might be my new favorite backstory). I loved the way Morrison thought out the psychological results of being locked in a tower your whole life. Negatives:--The beginning is SO DULL. Creative and original and really good.Possible review to come. Maybe, probably not really.
I absolutely loved this book. Clever, funny, fast-paced, gorgeous writing, details and descriptions that drop you in this fantasy world, memorable characters--I can't think of anything that was lacking. The characters would arrive at a destination or overcome a challenge and I'd wonder, "Oh, is it going to get boring now?" The answer was always a resounding NOPE! Turn the page and there's another challenge for the characters to face, or a mysterious new character. Highly recommend.
A delightful alternative retelling of Rapunzel! I brought the book home to peruse, never intending to actually read it, but was instantly captivated. Morrison builds a fantasy world that is described in a way you can easily picture the setting without being bogged down in details. We are whisked away on an adventure as Rapunzel transforms from a rather annoyingly naive prisoner to a courageous, quick-thinking, kind-hearted girl. No rescues from Prince Charming needed, this gal is strong enough
Synopsis- Rapunzel lived in a tower, and she had everything she wanted. Witch gave it to her. Witch loved her. And Rapunzel was happy. That is, until a boy climbs her tower and claims that theyve met. Even weirder, they met Yesterday. But how is that possible? Rapunzel would have remembered. So, Rapunzel decides hes lying. Yet somehow, he has her handkerchief. Could what he say be true? Then, he steals a rose and runs off. What choice does Rapunzel have? She follows him. And thus begins the
I'll admit that I was a little skeptical when I first started this book. I didn't like Rapunzel, and I wasn't sure where the story was going. As it progressed, I really started to enjoy myself. Rapunzel turned out to be a pretty strong character and it ended differently than I expected. The only part of the story that I didn't really like all that much was Prince Frog. I was expecting something else to happen and when it didn't, I was disappointed. That was my fault for having expectations I
