I ADORED THIS. The sequel to gilded this book brings the astonishing retelling of rumplestiltskin and mortals blessed by gods to a close with a wonderfully happy ending. 

Through fights and chaos, finding freedom, future and truth, this book truly does go through the phases. Having loved the lunar chronicles when I read them at 17 I had high expectations or Marissa again and not only did she meet them but really exceeded them. 

Seeing Gild and Serilda finally have a happy ending was so heartwarming, and alongside the creativity, great world building and every other amazing part of this book I was also overjoyed to see queer representation in several forms both in the past and present settings of the books time and lore. 

Overall these are a great and engaging read for someone wanting a re spun fairytale with a magically engaging plot that’s truly unique in its own right too

I feel like this shouldn't be categorized as a young adult novel and is pretty much new adult genre. And since this is young adult fiction, I have to review it as such. I felt the content was way too dark for a teenager to read which made the story hard to follow sometimes.

This book was better than gilded. Although I enjoyed guilded I thought sometimes it left holes and was dragged through plot points that maybe didn't pay off. 
I found this book to have a much better pay off and was more fast paced while still remaining readable. 
My main issue is the height of the drama happens very late into the book and I feel as though it spends a lot of time explaining unimportant aspects and then doesn't let the dust settle later in the story.
the Rumpelstiltskin twist was a little bit too on the nose to be dumped in right at the end
