Mere moments (okay, maybe a full calendar day) after Rootbound went up on Netgalley, I found out about this gorgeous B&N edition, and just about screamed with delight. Ya girl has not had a B&N special edition for her books before and this one is just perfection. From the official description:

"This Barnes & Noble Exclusive Edition features an exclusive shimmering jacket printed over foil, a unique case, and printed endpapers and edges, plus a bonus Rootbound quiz and discussion guide!"

Bonkers.

Rootbound: A Tangled Novel

By Margaret Owen @what-eats-owls

Rapunzel knows nothing about her neighboring kingdom, Astera – and not just because she only left her tower a month ago. The famously reclusive island has limited its contact with outsiders for decades. So when a suspicious invitation arrives welcoming Rapunzel to the Asteran princess’s coming of age ceremony, and offering her a chance to be useful for the first time since she lost her healing powers, Rapunzel accepts – and unwittingly plunges herself and her companion, Eugene, into a tangled knot of political intrigue and magical secrets. Eugene is just happy to get one last adventure with Rapunzel before his criminal background catches up with him and prevents their happy ending. Yet as they’re drawn further into the country’s problems, they uncover truths about Eugene’s parentage that point to deeper unrest in Astera, and suddenly the fate of their own kingdom, not just their personal dreams, is at stake. Thrust into a power struggle between Astera’s beloved princess, Verette, its domineering king, Enver, and a mysterious secret society, Rapunzel and Eugene race to protect their home from an unsettlingly familiar threat and discover that the past can either hold them back, or help them blossom. A cunning king. An devious princess. Best. Week. Ever.
