Description from the publisher:
Rapunzel learned her prophecy by heart years ago, and now, she plays with fate over the details.

When she meets a handsome Lord at Grimm Academy, she goes one step further and starts a chain of events which will lead to a bigger betrayal than she ever saw coming.

Welcome to Grimm Academy, where fairy tale characters go to avoid their fate.

Tower of Thorns is an academy retelling of Rapunzel and part of the Once Upon an Academy series, set at Grimm Academy
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
TOWER OF THORNS is the first book in the Once Upon an Academy series.  This is related to the Grimm Academy Series, but you do not have to read those books first.  I’m not sure why this is set up as a separate series. Add to it that the author is writing in both series at the same time and there are cross-over characters.  It just doesn’t make sense to me.
 
What I like about Grimm Academy is that the students all know that they have prophecies regarding their futures, and they are there to circumvent their prophecy while taking their regular schooling.
 
Gavin is sweet.  He becomes Rapunzel’s friend first and their romance (very) quickly blossoms from there.
 
The story was a sweet-romance with a mild suspense.  It is fun.  I love Rapunzel’s creativity – shown in her sewing ability.
 
Note:  While I received this book as a gifted ARC via BookSprout, my opinions are my own and are given freely.
