Review: Towers And Tithes

Towers And Tithes by Christina Bauer
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Grayson has a Rapunzel life template, but she is not a Rapunzel.  She is destined to be a Tower Tithe and be magically assigned to a Rapunzel to clean and do other duties no one else wants to do.  Since she is an elf, that means she may have to do this job for hundreds or thousands of years.  Enter Dex … he is looking for his one true love.  The problem is that it has been generations since someone in his life template has found theirs.  When Grayson and Dex suddenly meet, Dex’s wolf is sure that Grayson is the one, but others don’t see it that way.  Will Grayson be able to work against her Rapunzel life template to be with Dex?  How will this story tie in with the other stories in the series?

 Towers and Tithes is the eighth book in the Fairy Tales of the Magicorum series.  With that being said, it is the first book in a mini-series about Grayson and Dex.  The author’s note at the beginning of the book tells us that she not only is pulling from fairytales for this story, but she is also basing the larger story on the book Jane Eyre.  How exciting!  There are cameo appearances of some other beloved characters and I noticed the addition of a few others that might be future storylines.  I enjoyed this story and am sad I have to wait a few months for the next … but I will!
