The Golden Braid (Hagenheim #6)
I finally got around to reading the next book in this series, and I think itll be the last book in the series I read. Ive read the previous 5 books in the series already and, after this 6th one, Im finally giving up.Literally every book in this series is practically the same, except the characters have different names. Seriously. Its not even a good pattern. Its an annoying stereotypical series and Ive only partly enjoyed one of these books (The Fairest Beauty. It was the most original and a
Can I just say wow? I mean I knew reading this book that it was a retelling of Repunzal so I knew that somehow she was the Duke's Daughter... duh.. it's obvious, but I was completely astounded as to how Melanie Dickerson made the reunion happen. It was so beautiful!! I cried and got all shivery by the feelings exchanged and the love shared. There was such wise advice given to her ( Repunzal ) by Lady Rose in the book and I found myself nodding with the truth of it. This is the most biblically
A beautifully spun retelling of the age-old fairy tale we all know well...Rapunzel.It's all here... the tower. The mother. The begrudging hero. Missing pieces and identities.And, of course, the long-haired blonde. This story is woven together like the most intricate braid, with so many threads all crossed over and under and finally-in a satisfying and heartwarming climax-pulled taught to complete a glorious masterpiece of creativity and beauty.A tale of trust, betrayal, treachery, searching,
First off let me say that this cover is sooooo pretty! :) Ok now to the book review. (Warning, spoilers in this review) (view spoiler)[ Wow this book was amazing! Rapunzel was a very interesting character, she can throw a knife but she wants to learn how to read. I really liked Gerek, even though he was grumpy in the beginning. ;) Gothel, ugh I really didn't like her once I found out what she did, and how she treated Rapunzel. When I was reading this I was trying to figure out who Rapunzel was
In this imaginative retelling of Rapunzel, Melanie Dickerson puts a unique spin on the fairytale. In The Golden Braid, Rapunzel is not your typical damsel in distress. For instance, she can throw knives and paint very well.The novel chronicalizes Rapunzel and her plight to learn how to read. Furthermore, her stepmother ,Gothel, keeps her so sheltered from the world that the desire she has is difficult to accomplish, but when she meets a handsome knight everything changes. I won't give out
Readers who love getting lost in a fairytale romance will cheer for Rapunzels courage as she rises above her overwhelming past. The surprising way Dickerson weaves threads of this enchanting companion novel with those of her other Hagenheim stories is simply delightful. Her fans will love it.

Commentary Supposing Books The Golden Braid (Hagenheim #6)
The one who needs rescuing isn’t always the one in the tower. Rapunzel can throw a knife better than any man. She paints beautiful flowering vines on the walls of her plaster houses. She sings so sweetly she can coax even a beast to sleep. But there are two things she is afraid her mother might never allow her to do: learn to read and marry. Fiercely devoted to Rapunzel, her mother is suspicious of every man who so much as looks at her daughter and warns her that no man can be trusted. After a young village farmer asks for Rapunzel's hand in marriage, Mother decides to move them once again—this time, to the large city of Hagenheim. The journey proves treacherous, and after being rescued by a knight—Sir Gerek—Rapunzel in turn rescues him farther down the road. As a result, Sir Gerek agrees to repay his debt to Rapunzel by teaching her to read. Could there be more to this knight than his arrogance and desire to marry for riches and position? As Rapunzel acclimates to life in a new city, she uncovers a mystery that will forever change her life. In this Rapunzel story unlike any other, a world of secrets and treachery is about to be revealed after seventeen years of lies. How will Rapunzel finally take control of her own destiny? And who will prove faithful to a lowly peasant girl with no one to turn to?Be Specific About Books As The Golden Braid (Hagenheim #6)

I got this book because I loved the cover and it's a retelling of Rapunzel! But . . .I did love the parts with Rapunzel and Sir Gerek but there was too much with Rapunzel's supposed mom that got on my nerves. I think the retelling would have been great if the mom didn't get on my nerves. She was just on and on and on and on and on and on and on <---get it, about certain things that I wanted to throw the beautiful book! Sigh . . . The 3 stars are for Rapunzel and Gerek and the idea. No starsI finally got around to reading the next book in this series, and I think itll be the last book in the series I read.
