This book is a story within a story. It begins within the historical setting of the court of Louis XIV. Written around the real life character of Charlotte Rose who was the inspiration for the original Rapunzel fairy tale. The secondary story is the adaptation of that fairy tale which was really well done. There were some eye rolling bodice ripping scenes but there were also long sections of the book that I couldn't put down. Personally I enjoyed the Rapunzel portion of the story more than the part about Charlotte Rose but overall it was quite good.
