A review by rhiannonafternoon
Gilded by Marissa Meyer

dark emotional hopeful mysterious medium-paced

5.0

If there’s anyone I trust with a retelling, it’s Marissa Meyer. Every ounce of this story is told with heart, and has twisted all of my feelings from straw to gold and back. The story follows Serilda and how it feels to be the outcast. The thread of her entire being is built on her “blessed” birth from the god of story telling, but she ends up being an expert liar. This gets dark, but is steeped in beautiful world building with characters you love to hate, and promises of another book… I can’t wait!
