We read about Mother Gothel in this one, about her being raised with her two younger siblings Hazle and Primrose by their mother the Queen of the dead woods and keepers of the Rapunzel flowers and how her mother possess powers Gothel wishes she could teach her when she finally does her sisters don't agree, especially with how it's all done, it's not by being thought...it's by preforming a ritual that involves taking their mother's blood. Not only that her sisters do not want Gothel to go through with the ritual, just to be away from the dead woods past the thickest, only the three of them being together and explore the world, but their mother keeps making it very clear she has very little to no love for Primrose and Hazle and doesn't want them to take her blood, only Gothel. They never expected how quickly things would change for the worse when their mother finally accepts Gothels plea, things take a devastating turn when the ritual turns deadly, and their mother perished leaving Gothel to fend for her sisters and the dead woods, trying very hard to please her sister so they don't leave on their own without her, even after they too lost their lives. although Gothel never gave up she loses still her kingdom because of a king who destroyed it to look for the Rapunzel flowers which was keeping her sisters bodies from decomposing, which drives Gothel to a small town in a village to care for a small child she did not have love for trying every so desperately day by day to revive her sisters. 😩This book is yet again another beautifully written book I think they all are, but as much as I felt bad for her, I felt like she could have done things much better then how she did them, especially with Repunzal but you do understand why she is so cruel to her.
Pros: Well written, again it worked well with the movie
Cons: Sorry guys with this being my favorite series it's hard to find something off about it 😅
