Publisher's summary

The 12th installment in the New York Times best-selling series asks: What if Rapunzel's mother drank a potion from the wrong flower?

Desperate to save the life of their queen and her unborn child, the good citizens of the kingdom comb the land for the all-healing Sundrop flower to cure her...but someone mistakenly picks the blossom of the Moondrop instead. This shimmering flower heals the queen, and she delivers a healthy baby girl - with hair as silver and gray as the moon. But with her mysterious hair comes dangerous magical powers: the power to hurt, not heal. For the safety of the kingdom, Rapunzel is locked away in a tower and put under the care of the powerful goodwife Mother Gothel.

For 18 years Rapunzel stays imprisoned in her tower, knowing she must protect everyone from her magical hair. When she finally decides to leave the only home she's ever known - to see the floating lights that appear on her birthday - she gets caught up in an unexpected adventure with two thieves: a would-be outlaw named Gina and Flynn Rider, a rogue on the run. Before she can reach her happy ending, Rapunzel learns that there is far more to her story, her magical hair, and her future than she ever knew.

who edited the audio?

there was a few chapters that abruptly ended in the middle of a sentence, so some of the story was lost.

love it

very long book then what I am use too but over all I enjoyed it I am not a great reader so audible works great for me!

missing some parts

listening to the story some parts are definitely missing. like it was just skipped. the story was great and was able to guess what happened but would like to have those parts

Loved it

this is a great twist and I loved this as much as my daughter loves rapunzel

Missing 2 pages

On page 146- 148 is not read. I listen and read together and those pages aren’t in th audiobook

Enjoyable Adventure

This was an anticipated read for me because I make sure to read this series as soon as a new book releases
So In this book we meet Rapunzel she has a long hair but in this twist it is a silver hair because her mother drank from the flower of the moon drop, and instead of the healing properties she could have, her power is lethal and killing .. so her parents put her with mother Gothel who imprison her in the tower until she is 19 when she meets Flynn Rider and with him goes on an adventure
I really enjoyed this book .. it was funny and had a new character Gina who was a nice addition to the mix .. but I can't say it was fast paced .. not really, because the adventure does drag at some point in the book .. and I wish if we saw more of mother Gothel because to me she is one of the most terrifying Disney villians .. the ending was OK but I wish if they stuck with the movie ending it was more satisfying
I'm really glad I read it and can't wait for Tiana's book

The narrator was really great.. she performed beautifully and she did bring a lot of sould to the book she was amazing .. but Flynn's scenes were kind of cringe the way she made him sound like he was joking even when he was being serious .. other than that I highly recommend the book

Awesome Premise

Lovely story. Small production issue of skipping tk the end of chapters. fun listen

Such a good listen

This story was so good. it's given depth to each character and so creative. loved it

Best book ever!

Omg I love this book so much it’s amazing and so good to read and hear .

Brilliant retelling

Loved the context and the new spin. Being told to a sister with leukemia really struck me because my niece just finished leukemia treatment. Loved it!
