An Inconvenient Princess by Melanie Cellier
5.0
An Inconvenient Princess is adventurous and entertaining! It is full of fun, whimsy, and surprising twists! For those who enjoy retellings with unique spins, this one if for you!
As the last book in the Entwined Tales series, this one was bittersweet. It was brilliantly written, and oh so fun, but it was definitely sad to read the end of these exciting tales. An Inconvenient Princess was a whimsical twist on the original tale of Rapunzel, and a happy ending to the story of our siblings, and our beloved grumpy faerie godfather.
Melanie was able to capture the essence and magic of the original Rapunzel while adding her own personality to the tale. I really enjoyed both the original bits, and the new twists. The story definitely matched its title too.
I really loved that this tale wasn't just about Rapunzel, but about those she affected around her. Rapunzel was sweet, innocent, and naive, and definitely needed rescuing, but she was so adorable. I loved the interaction between her and Penny, and how Penny ended up being the main reason that both Rapunzel, and Penny's sister Liesa, were rescued, and I loved how the charming prince fit in to the story.
Melanie's writing was very elegant and captivating. The story really came to life for me and I loved every minute of it. This tale fit so well with the other five, and as far as the series goes, I never really felt any disconnect between any of the books. I could see differences in the authors and their writing styles, of course, but each book easily led in to the next and kept the magic flowing.
An Inconvenient Princess was a beautiful twist on a classic tale. It was vivid and imaginative, and very enjoyable. If you have not started The Entwined Tales series, and you love faerie tale retellings, I highly suggest buying the entire series right now! 4.5 stars!
