I adored the children and I am glad for the ending but the story was so slow paced and I found the pregnancy stuff kind of ick

I feel like this shouldn't be categorized as a young adult novel and is pretty much new adult genre.

This book is well written. I liked the overall story. I was frustrating at times because the main character has all of the information in front of her but can't comprehend it. I loved the guilded prince, the princess, the forest folk, and the ghosts. The dark castle was spooky and creepy with the different creatures.  Serilda is now cursed with the guilded prince. They are trying to find a way to break the curse and set everyone free.

It's not bad, but the pacing was off for me. Too slow in most places and the action sequences were too fast. I also saw some plottwists coming which took the fun out. 

Erlen was amazing tho and she made it more enjoyable.

Marissa Meyer had to fill in a nine month gap, because the original story doesnt tell about that time. But her version sadly did not satisfy me.
If she didnt do the plottwist at the end of book 1, gilded could be a standalone novel. It didnt work as a duology for me because I feel like I didnt get to know the characters better...

I was in a fantasy mood, but this book did not quench my thirst. And I'm so sad about it because I love Marissa's other books!

I hope you loved this story more than I did <3

this book was a frustrating read. i truly truly disliked the protagonist and felt as though the plot could have been condensed into one book. felt like some scenes were there for no actual reason but to have words on a page. i do think meyers’ has beautiful imagery for setting the mood but just felt very off. i had my hopes up because the ending of the first book picked up quite a bit but u honestly didnt need to read the first book it just got explained in the beginning. lots of thoughts… first time that i dreaded reading and i really wanted to enjoy this fairytale
