bekaaaah 's review for:
The Golden Braid
by Melanie Dickerson
An expert at inventive fairytale reimaginings, Melanie Dickerson has done it again with this beautiful book! From the very first chapter to the last page, I couldn’t pull myself away. It was sweetly romantic, breathtakingly beautiful, and a nail-biter! Everything and more than I could ask for in a story.
Rapunzel and Gerek… *swoon* What a perfect book couple! I immediately fell in love with both characters – Rapunzel’s sweet disposition along with her kick-butt knife skills made her the perfect heroine to root for. And Sir Gerek’s dark past with his family had me eagerly awaiting his happy ending. The author interwove ageless themes in the story – I could relate and sympathize with Rapunzel’s journey to find where she belongs and sympathize with her fears and struggles. The message that even though we might not see the big picture, God is in control and always has our best interests at heart was beautifully insightful and well done. And of course, it was so fun to “see” old characters again like Lady Rose and Lord Wilhelm!
Ever since the first Hagenheim story I read years ago, I fell in love with the beautiful way Melanie Dickerson can transport her readers in a way that feels real and hopeful and downright magical. If you are a fan of her work or just enjoy fairytale retellings, The Golden Braid is not to be missed!
