Okay, so I picked this up because the beginning of this book was in Naomi Novik's anthology Buried Deep and I really enjoyed it, and honestly I think that beginning part of this book was probably my favourite because once we got to the Fae world I got a little lost. I couldn't keep names straight or even keep track of the names I'd given the characters as placeholders and I don't know if it was just my brain not functioning at normal capacity or what, but tel me why it took me until just over the halfway point to realise that this is a Rumpelstiltskin retelling??? The book is literally called Spinning Silver???!!! Truly, the phrase 'no thoughts, head empty' was created just to refer to me.
Also, was someone going to tell me Naomi novik founded ao3 or was i supposed to just find that out myself on a random Tuesday???
