Being the heir to Camelot is a tangled mess.
Rapunzel has spent her entire life living in Merlin's cave on the coast of Cornwall. Under the protection of her faerie guardian, Gothel, she's stayed safe. Safe and bored. Dreaming of a life that looks more like a Jane Austen novel, Rapunzel fears she'll never have the chance to explore Victorian England's modern delights. Or meet a man. Or be kissed. Or anything else remotely resembling normal.
When Red Cape Society Agent Ewan Goodwin's monster-stalking device leads him to Rapunzel - and her unusual pets - the pair's destinies entwine. Together, they must solve a mystery tied to the very roots of King Arthur's Britannia.
Golden Braids and Dragon Blades is a retelling of the classic Rapunzel fairy tale set in New York Times best-selling author Melanie Karsak's steampunk universe. Journey to gaslamp London during the 19th century to see how Melanie puts a steampunk spin on this reimagined fairytale.

Another Wonderful Fairy Tale

This steampunk Fairy tale brilliantly mashes the story of Rapunzel in with the legends of king Arthur and Camelot. This is also a companion story to Karsak's Steampunk red riding hood series, as we once again deal with agents of the red cape society. ( This totally stands on it's own just fine so don't worry if you haven't read the other books.)
Narrator Lesley Parking does an amazing job of bringing Rapunzel to life. She also brings other characters to life, but Rapunzel is the first person pov so she is most important to nail. I love Parkin's use of voice and accent to make each character unique. even non speaking characters felt represented because of how she portrayed the other characters interacting with them.
An interesting take on old legends

Definitely a YA book, but delightful all the same. Near the beginning, one rather hilarious shout-out to "Tangled" and then it remains it's own story.
Well-written, good world-building and only one complaint about the ongoing use of the modern word, "okay" from a story that takes place in Victorian England.
The reader is good and does a variety of accents and male/female voices.
Delightful YA adventure/romance

-This is a truly unique, creative re-imaging of the fairy tale. I liked that it was different enough I did not know what was coming.
-Steampunk! It's hard to find good steampunk, and I think this was well done.
-It's clean. I think anyone 10+ would be good to listen to this. I'm 28 and also found it entertaining.
-The narrator was great.
-Fun mix with King Arthur and dragons.
The only reason why I didn't give it 5 stars is because I think it could have been fleshed out more to make it more realistic. For example; for someone who has lived completely in isolation, there was no sense of awkwardness or shyness when thrust into society, which I find unbelievable. But I get that it was meant to be just a quick, fun read. Highly recommend!
