Rotten Rapunzel
Dark Fairy Tale Queen #3
by Anita Valle
I have been in this tower for fifteen years. Snow White has frozen me inside it and covered the rest of our kingdom with ice and snow. I can’t remember what summer is like. And I have never seen people or had a friend.
It’s not fair. I’m a princess, the daughter of Cinderella. This kingdom belongs to ME. Not to the nasty new queen who’s taken over. Snowy ruined my life, she doesn’t care about me. She only keeps me because I cry magic tears.
I have to escape. Have to take back the palace before my lost twin gets it. Have to punish Snowy for wrecking the kingdom. Have to make at least ONE stupid friend. And I really have to do something about my hair.
3 out of 5 fairies
This was ok, but tried to weave too many fairy tales into one. I like the idea, but it wasn’t executed well.
