My heart is broken! However, I’m in love with this retelling. I have enjoyed all of Marissa Meyer’s books and series. I can’t wait to finish this duology.

I just felt like that was A LOT of build up and the ending is just a big cliffhanger. If you read this you just plan on reading the second one.

I’m not super familiar with the Rumplestiltskin fairy tale but this seemed like a fairly dark twist on the tale. I think it was a bit long and could’ve been edited down to keep it more condensed and punchy plot wise. I really enjoyed Serilda’s gift for storytelling throughout the book, but this did the whole - not a whole lot of action must be saving it all for book 2 thing 

 🌶️ 2.5/5 (closed door)
