Yes
This one drew me in immediately in the way only a Mary Mecham book can do! I loved the fresh take on Rapunzel and the twist on her original story. Mecham sure knows how to write fun, unique, diabolical stories!
Loved the instant friendship between Rapunzel and Pollox, the dragon. I really enjoyed Ranpuzel's relationship with both Pollox and Griffin. They were different in so many ways. There was so much unfolding in this story and it was a fun, fast-paced ride. I really loved the world building and how I wasn't sure who was good and who was bad. It made for such a fun, emotion-filled reading experience. So many unexpected things! All the characters were unique and layered. Such a fun mystery to watch unfold. I didn't see the biggest twist coming and I love when an author can surprise me. It was kind of shocking and I wasn't sure how I felt but the more I read, the more I knew how perfect the twist was for the story. Loved the ending!
This one had the perfect amount of Rapunzel's original fairytale! And then the author added dragons and made it a perfect combination!
