The Book of Gothel is a beautifully written fairytale that retells the classic story of Rapunzel, but from the point of view of "Mother Gothel." Instead of being a villain origin story, the reader can expect a well researched novel brimming with religion, magic, and female empowerment set during medieval times. This was an unexpected delight, perfect for fans of Circe and Wicked.
