Hi! I'm Rachel Huffmire, an award winning author who writes futuristic fairytale retellings with twisty plots and happily ever afters. I believe there is courage in compassion, and I tell stories about optimistic heroes who change the world.

I live with my husband, three children, and a library of books that is slowly overtaking our house. It’s not my fault. When I'm not writing, I enjoy baking apple pastries, taking long naps, and wearing warm cardigans.

If you love fairytale retellings too, you can sign up for my monthly newsletter at Rachelhuffmire.com for a community that loves folklore, fiction, and fantasy! You can also chat with me on Instagram @rachelhuffmire. ...more

Rapunzel - By Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm

Before before floating lanterns and "I want" songs, Rapunzel was a quieter story. In the original fairy tale collected by the Brothers Grimm, Rapunzel is actually a story about longing.

I set this down at about half way through. The concept was a mix between Good Omens and Miss Peregrines House for Peculiar Children. Though it was cozy, it was missing any tension to keep me invested.

DNF at 3 hours. Strong language, affairs, suicide, abusive relationship, too much angst between characters, and it felt too unrelentingly heavy.
