3.25 stars. The story of Rumpelstiltskin and Frankenatein have never been my favorites so this story didn't appeal to me as much as others. It was, however, still enjoyable. This story had more spelling and grammar errors like the first sequels.
Cameron Jace je prostě magiiič.
Líbí se mi, jak si hraje s pohádkami a míchá je do sebe, jako by to bylo úplně normální. :)

{my thoughts} – This book is about {rumpelstiltskin} who later becomes named as {rumpelstein}. He is a good guy with a good heart that quests for nothing but the best for his family. In the end the {queen of sorrow} takes his family from him and he has to quest to find them. He has to decide whether he is good or evil while all along within himself he believes he is still good. I wonderful read with a surprise ending.
{reason for reading} - I received a copy of this book in return for an honest review.

another odd one
we have more back story but I'm starting to confuse which story goes with which, they all intertwine so much.

★★★½☆
《Perhaps goodness and evil weren’t attributes. They were jobs, and I sucked at being good. It’s easy claiming you’re good. The hardest part is to have the heart to live up to it. The line between good and evil is fuzzy, and you could easily drown in the oblivious grey in between. Grey is only a shade lighter than black; it neverleads to pure white.》
《We’ve all tried to be good and failed. There’s nothing new to that; it happens every day.
Blame it on Mama and Papa, who insisted the world was good when we were kids. But you’d be a fool if you don’t try to be bad for a change. Who knows? You could be good at being bad, and it could be your destiny.》
Rumpelstein is basically about how Rumpelstiltskin got his name and why he went from good to evil. There's also a bit of Frankenstein involved, but I think I've given too much. It's also shortly after Moon & Madly (at least, I'm assuming that and I have reasons...). Oh, and Ladle Rat makes an appearance too! Personally I think she's one of my favorites, even though she might have to kill me one day.
Fairy tales are a good way to believe the unbelievable
First off, I never read Rumpelstiltskin's story and I have no idea who and what he does but I'm guessing he isn't one of the good guys. But in this version he is Rapunzel's father (Which I'm sure is Jace's work) and then he becomes Rumpelstein (Frankenstein anyone?) and it's story where he tells how he became bad from good.
Nápady zajímavé, ale čtivosti ubylo. I když konec s Ďáblem to zase zvedl o několik úrovní. A Ladle, scéna s Ladle byla taky fajn.
Červené karkulky jsou velmi zajímavé skoro ve všech podobách své pohádky.

My rating: 2.5/6
As always, I’ve got to give Cameron Jace a plus for creativity but I thought that there was too much of everything in this installment. I really liked Rapunzel’s story but the reference to Frankenstein, although interesting, felt really out of place and I think the book would’ve been good without it. In addition, I also couldn’t empathise with Rumpelstiltskin, because his narration was rather stiff and I found his tranformation quite unbelievable.
