A new (Rumpelstiltskin) retelling that is very worth it.
And I like how the novel ended, a very nice touch.

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
