This review is brought to you by my participation in the Speculative Fiction Indie Novella Championship (SFINCS). SFINCS, pronounced “sphinx”, is a yearly competition to recognize, honor, and celebrate the talent and creativity present in the indie community. It’s a sister competition to both SPFBO and SPSFC, and it highlights greatness in the novella format in all areas of speculative fiction (fantasy, science fiction, horror, etc.). I am part of Team Behind the Musings. You can find out more about us here.

Today’s review is about GOTHEL AND THE MAIDEN PRINCE by W.R. Gingell. It’s part of A Villain’s Never After series of standalones. So reading the other novellas is not a prerequisite. This novella is a slice-of-life retelling of Rapunzel from the villainous witch’s point of view.
