This one moved better than the first. I would have liked maybe two more pages of wrapping up. It had action happening right up to the last 3 pages, and it would have been nice to wind down a little.

The second and final book in the gilded series.
I truly enjoy fairy tale renditions. And Marissa makes this one truly original and fun to read.
I should have reread the first books beforehand, cuz i had little trouble to remember how it ended.
But there was enough information in the second book that made me recall som of the history.
If you like fairy tales you should give this a try.

Cried my eyes out at the end. But very good book, great story, expertly written as could be expected with Marissa Meyer.
A new (Rumpelstiltskin) retelling that is very worth it.
And I like how the novel ended, a very nice touch.

I enjoyed this book. It was a bit slow in the middle. I but the beginning and end were good and I thought it was a really nice retelling of the fairy tale.
Maybe 2.5 ⭐️ I liked Gilded better than this one, but overall both books in this duology are just “meh.”
