Into the Bargain is a lovely Rumpelstiltskin retelling in an alternate Hagerstown, Maryland in which magic is real, wizards are the top of society, and women’s rights are 100 years behind. Its characters are diverse and likable, there is mystery within conundrum, and it is quite romantic. It is an engaging couple of hours which has left me interested in reading more books in this world.

Thank you to the author for providing an advance reader copy. All opinions are my own.
