What Once Was Mine by Liz Braswell
5.0
I was pretty sure I would like this book because I love Disney, Tangled, and fairytales that have a twist. This book served all those things on a silver platter to me. It was a safe random pick from the library.
What I was surprised about was how much I liked how Braswell made the twists. This isn't a “Once upon a time...” and there's only Rapunzel being told from a different perspective. There's a small side story as you why it's different. There's more to it than the typical small changes.
Also, I enjoyed the writing style and how different things turned out. What Once Was Mine doesn't simply mirror Tangled. It's its own story. If it didn't have the minor side piece it would be a great read still.
