The Tower Without a Door

A Rapunzel Retelling (Chronicles of Curses)

De: H. L. Macfarlane

Narrado por: Alexander Bevan

Eventually, talking to yourself gets a little boring.

After being locked away for 12 years in an enchanted tower, Princess Genevieve finally decides that enough is enough. She’ll climb out of the window of the tower and...that’s where her plan ends. For Genevieve knows nothing of the world - not even the way back to the royal palace and her beloved mother. But, when a tired and angry wizard magically appears in the tower just as Genevieve is trying to escape it, she is provided with a very reluctant guide back home.

Julian Thorne has been exploring the world and strengthening his magic for 12 years to avoid coping with the mysterious death of his father. Now, shackled with a young woman who claims to be the Princess Genevieve, the wretched wizard becomes embroiled in a conspiracy that may finally give him answers to what happened 12 years ago. The lives of the two may be far more connected than either of them could have ever imagined.

Chronicles of Curses is a series of independent but interconnected fairy tale retellings that can largely be listened to in any order, though The Tower Without a Door is the preferred third in the series.

Not a damsel in distress

This was an interesting retelling of Rapunzel where the FMC doesn’t just wait around to be rescued. I really enjoyed getting to know Julien better and watching the dynamics between Genevieve and Julien bloom. I appreciated the distinction between wizard and magician.

Overall a pleasant read with interesting characters.
