Synopsis (Goodreads):
Sometimes, you find love in an unexpected place…Thoughts on Rampion: I have to say, this book took a turn I wasn't expecting at first and it totally rocked my socks off. In case I'm not being clear, I LOOOOVVVVED where this story went. I'm not even sure I can express the whys and hows without completely giving away ALL THE THINGS.
Rapunzel isn’t fond of being a princess, but her rebellion against her royal parents can only take her so far. When her adventures playing pirate result in embarrassment for her family, she’s sent away to a scrapyard in the middle of Nowhere on a barren moon that has been barely terra-formed to support life. As far as Zel can see, the only other person on the moon is a grumpy old caretaker named Gothel, who doesn’t bother to show any respect for her royal status.
Old man Gothel has plenty of rules, and he’s made one huge part of the scrapyard forbidden, which means Zel can’t resist exploring it. In that forbidden area, she discovers a tower, drawn there by a sexy, masculine voice singing unusual music.
But when she finally finds her way inside the tower, she discovers something she never expected.
There’s a lot more than just a heart on the line when it comes to the secrets that surround Rampion and his captor, Gothel.
Rapunzel must learn the truth before it’s too late and she loses everything she holds dear.
Let's just say Rapunzel has a lot of growing up to do before she can be the princess she's meant to be. Her bodyguard gave her good start by making her think for herself, but she still has a long way to go when she's first dropped in the scrapyard. She's challenged and poked and prodded by turns until she begins to see that she can be so much more than what she currently is.
In their own ways, both Gothel and Rampion help her toward that point. One is antagonistic and uncaring of her position, the other treats her like the princess she was created to be. One actively tries to avoid her, the other is eager to be around her.
And somehow--SOMEHOW--Rapunzel begins to see that the truth she's been telling herself isn't quite as uncomplicated as she thought it was and THINGS HAPPEN. Also, nobles are kind of whacked and some are just flat-out not right in the head.
GOOD TIMES, man. Good times.
