This was such a good duology. It's very different from what I usually read, but something about Marissa Meyer's writing just pulls me in. I loved Gild and Serilda as characters and I was very happy with the way the book wrapped up in the end.

It's not bad, but the pacing was off for me. Too slow in most places and the action sequences were too fast. I also saw some plottwists coming which took the fun out.

Erlen was amazing tho and she made it more enjoyable.

Marissa Meyer had to fill in a nine month gap, because the original story doesnt tell about that time. But her version sadly did not satisfy me.
If she didnt do the plottwist at the end of book 1, gilded could be a standalone novel. It didnt work as a duology for me because I feel like I didnt get to know the characters better...

I was in a fantasy mood, but this book did not quench my thirst. And I'm so sad about it because I love Marissa's other books!

I hope you loved this story more than I did <3

I enjoyed this book. I think it was a good sequel. This is a dark fairytale retelling. The characters are entertaining and there is come character development. The relationship between the characters is interesting. The plot is a little predictable though I did enjoy it. The writing style is lovely.

I already loved the first book, but this sequel has truly blown it out of the park. And though I thought I knew where the story was going after the first one, I didn’t see some of the twists coming. I absolutely loved, loved, LOVED this sequel! I especially enjoyed the fact that certain LGBTQIA couples weren’t presented as something special, but just a normal occurrence - as it should be! This duology is by far my favorite retelling of the Rumpelstilzchen/Rumpelstilskin story there is!🥰🥰
