This was a fun first entry in this series, it was a lot of fun and had a fairy tale feel to this book. I liked the characters and enjoyed getting to know them.

A fun quick read at 200 odd pages.
Rapunculus is the Witch Urdhr's perfect 'except for one flaw' daughter - she does not have a heart, she cannot love... Enter Prince Circium... He likes Rapunculus... Can she like him back? Can the Witch Urdhr do anything to help?
I enjoyed this book. It was part fantasy, part magic, part fairy tale... The author created an immersive experience with the beautiful narration. The book ended abruptly, So... where is Book 2?

This book reminds me of Grimm’s fairy tales and I felt the same awe that I experienced 20 years ago when I was reading the Grimm stories.
The story revolves around Urdhr, an old witch, and her daughter Rapunculus, whom Urdhr creates from her magic. Although she was born as a beauty, sadly she doesn’t have a heart, making her unable to love. Things got complicated when prince Circium is attracted to Rapunculus. Will Rapunculus, the cold-hearted beauty be able to live Circium?
The author has done a great job with his masterful storytelling. It is beautifully written in simple language, but the writing style is so descriptive that I felt like watching a Disney movie.
