This was overall a GOOD BOOK! My 4 star railing is due to the fact I feel like I still have a lot of unanswered questions.
What I loved about this book is I feel like the story DEFINITELY stayed focused on mother Gothel and not the odd sisters. Yes they were apart of the story, but the focus did not shift to being solely about THEM or just their POV. They made appearances and told their side but the focus remained on mother Gothel.
But I still have so many questions about mother Gothel! Who is she really? Who are her sisters? What happened to the Dead Woods? What did the sisters actually want from her? I suspect I’ll get some of these answers in the book about the odd sisters but for now it just feels unfinished ☹️

Super dark and creepy… I enjoyed the middle of the book the best but then it shifted and it wasn’t about Gothel anymore and we lost how she felt and what she was thinking.. Still a good story, nonetheless! It was a good backstory for Gothel and made sense when compared to the movie. I really like how the world of magic and fairies are intertwined and related to the villains. ✨

The first part was good, if a bit slow, as its set way before the well known story. It made sense and you really got to understand Gothel. The second part got much more confusing. It didn't really focus on Gothel or on wanting to get her sisters back anymore, focusing more on other characters that didn't matter to me or make any difference to the story. I didn't understand what their purpose was. Gothel changed as well. She kept changing her mind on what she felt about the odd sisters and it really threw me.
I was worried that this book would be a bit of a letdown since it's the 5th in a series. But that was not the case at all!! I loved everything about this book! It spent most of the book giving the background of Gothel (instead of being more overall story-driven like the previous two books in the series). I thought it was very interesting to see Gothel's backstory because I honestly didn't know anything about her origin story. There were a lot of ties from her backstory to the Tangled movie. I thought that Gothel's backstory and character progression throughout this book was beautifully written from her being a child to where she ends up in Tangled.
And to top it off, the last few chapters were basically a hilarious retelling of Tangled from the witch's point of view and it was amazing!
