The good thing about all three entries to this series so far is that the plot has mangled up the original fairy tale and left it with a modern telling, where the female character doesn't need the usual male agency to get by – the Sleeping Beauty didn't need to be kissed, and this Rapunzel (spoiler alert) doesn't really need a bloke to get her out of her tower prison. But the awkwardness still remains – that of the fact they hardly need be peopled by dinosaurs, and with Rapunzel's hair still such a key part of this plot that's only magnified. Yes, it allows for the quippy win-win situation at the heart of this new take on the old legend, but it still demands a bit too much generosity on the part of the reader. Still, for children yet to grow up as sceptically demanding as I, this is pretty good fun. Four goodread stars might be a touch generous, but not much.
