About this listen

Young assassin Rapunzel is the most powerful absorbent mage alive, so strong she can drain the life of a grown man with a single brush of her finger.

But the power means little when her every move is controlled by her mistress.

For 12 long years, Rapunzel has known nothing beyond a nightmarish life of captivity, murder, and failed escape attempts.

She spends her days locked away in a tower, dreaming of a different life, and her nights in the city, forced to use her terrible power for her mistress’s political ambitions.

Rapunzel knows she’s a monster. She shouldn’t exist. She doesn’t deserve to exist. But her desperate hope for freedom just won’t go away.

Then a mysterious foreigner climbs into her tower seeking refuge. He should be terrified of Rapunzel, but he wants to help set her free. What kind of madman would ever want to help someone like Rapunzel?

And who is Rapunzel, really? A woman, or a killer?

Hidden: Rapunzel’s Story is the second book in the completed Destined series, a series of overlapping fairy tale retellings all set in the same magical world. Each story is self-contained, with its own protagonist and satisfying happily-ever-after, but they also tell an overarching story. Listen to them in order:

  1. Fated: Cinderella’s Story
  2. Hidden: Rapunzel’s Story
  3. Twisted: Belle’s Story (A Beauty and the Beast retelling)
  4. Betrayed: Ruby's Story (A Little Red Riding Hood retelling)
  5. Hunted: Alba's Story (A Snow White retelling)
  6. Cursed: Briar Rose's Story (A Sleeping Beauty retelling)

Lauren B. Leigh does a fantastic job narrating and performing the male and female voices in this Rapunzel retelling. As a lover of all things fairy tales, I am thoroughly enjoying these stories being reimagined. Starting the next book in the series immediately!

This was such a great follow-up to book one! I really enjoyed Zel's story, particularly her backstory and whirlwind romance in Draicia. That was probably my favorite part of the whole book, and I almost wish there had been more of that and less re-hashing of Fated. Toward the end, I also wish there would have been more time spent wrapping up that part of the plot, as it all kind of felt like a bit of a rushed afterthought once it reached the climax of the previous book.

I do look forward to continuing to read the rest of the series. A *lot* was introduced in those last few chapters regarding new magic, new enemies, and the future of Asylia that felt like a clear set-up for more books. And, while some of that set-up was really rushed, it sure did the job of making me want to read more!

Overall, another super interesting fairy-tale retelling that I would highly recommend to readers who enjoyed Fated. It likely wouldn't stand well on its own, but it's very effective as a part of the larger story.

Regarding the audiobook, the narration was clean, clear, and easy to listen to.

This audiobook was given to me for free at my request and I provided this voluntary review.

A Great Follow-Up to Fated!

As much as I love to read, circumstances make listening to stories much more convenient at this time. I so enjoyed this series by Kaylin Lee when I first read them. As I listen to these wonderfully narrated stories, I’m enjoying them even more.

Love the story. Narration is spot on!
