The Gilded series was one of my favorite reads of the year - I only regret that I didn’t finish before my hold at the library was up because it took ages to get again! A sequel to Gilded, Cursed is a masterful, mature retelling of the Rumpelstiltskin story. I was riveted by the battles, tense during the realizations that savvy readers may have already caught earlier, and cried in the throne room with the gods for the fates of our heroes. I highly recommend this duology to fantasy lovers who want something in between young adult and high fantasy.
