This book was better than gilded. Although I enjoyed guilded I thought sometimes it left holes and was dragged through plot points that maybe didn't pay off. 
I found this book to have a much better pay off and was more fast paced while still remaining readable. 
My main issue is the height of the drama happens very late into the book and I feel as though it spends a lot of time explaining unimportant aspects and then doesn't let the dust settle later in the story.

the Rumpelstiltskin twist was a little bit too on the nose to be dumped in right at the end

I enjoyed this book. I think it was a good sequel. This is a dark fairytale retelling. The characters are entertaining and there is come character development. The relationship between the characters is interesting. The plot is a little predictable though I did enjoy it. The writing style is lovely.

Mystical and adventurous. Has some sad scenes but nothing MAJOR, just slight sad parts. Very good in my opinion. Book two after Gilded.
