I enjoyed this reimagining of the Rumplestiltskin tale. It‘s a darker YA fantasy, but with some romance. There is also a good dash of spookiness (perfect October read) with the Erlking and his ghostly retinue. It could use a little trimming in the middle (it‘s a bit repetitive), but the climactic scenes were thrilling and it ends on a cliffhanger. Will definitely have to seek out the sequel to see what happens!

“‘I-it‘s all right,‘ she croaked. Gild had told her that he could pass through ghosts. He had tried to pass through her when they‘d first met. Squaring her shoulders, Serilda tried to be more conscious of the physical limits of her body. She reached out to them again. They were more hesitant, but as Serilda‘s hands found their arms, their cheeks, their hair, they again pressed into her.”

KING
THEIR MOST GRACIOUS MAJESTIES

She read them again.
And again.
That was it?
No - there should be names.
She felt around the blank plains of the stone, but there were no more words.
Queen and King who?
Serilda traced the words with her thumb, then brushed her fingers against the wide-open spaces where names should have been.”

After having to fill all my tires with air (the “joy” of it going from 70+ degrees to 50ish), I definitely deserve a treat! Starting this book while enjoying a mocha, a caprese sandwich, and some chips.

This book starts off slow, but it really picks up in the second half.
I've never read a rumpelstiltskin retelling before. It's a really cool story.
I think I will probably like the second book more.

I was never a fan of Rumpelstiltskin but I love retellings. After really enjoying Heartless (not so much the Lunar Chronicles), I decided to give Gilded a try. Unfortunately it wasn‘t for me.

Rumpelstiltskin reimagining set in a dark, gloomy, gothic castle, full of ghosts and Germanic folklore. There‘s a little bit of romance and a whole lot of heartbreak, seriously it‘s a bit dark for YA in my opinion. No happy ending, yet. But an intriguing cliffhanger that has me reeling for the sequel! All in all, Gilded is pure GOLD (haha, very clever) 5/5

BooksNBowls As always, thanks to @KateReadsYA for buddy reading this with me! I enjoyed it so much! 12mo

Marissa Meyer is such a good story teller! And the fact that Serilda the main character is one as well was pretty cool! Very awesome retelling of Rumplestiltskin that had me wanting to read nonstop, I needed answers haha. This book does leave quite a bit to look forward to for book 2! Can't wait to discuss with you @BooksNBowls this was a fun buddy read 🖤

This is a YA Rumpelstiltskin retelling. So dark and cruel with the characters. Some twists I didn‘t see coming at all. I really liked it but I think some parts were extremely long adding nothing to the story or to characters. I think this is common in this author but in general I loved it. Waiting for sequel next nov. Two pretty editions, I‘m a book collector😜3.8/4⭐️384 pages during July 2022 #20in4 Readathon @Andrew65 this was long 500 pages

Andrew65 Sounds great 👏👏👏 2y

If anyone can do fairy tale retellings, the it's Marissa Meyer. I don't even mind the romance in her books. Me! This one is dark and scary, uncanny. No Happily Ever After to be found in this story. And that's one of the strong sides of this book: so much atmosphere. I could dive into the story and didn't want to come back to earth again. The ending was a little bit disappointing, even for a book in a series. But now I can look forward to part two.

Marissa Meyer's writing & storytelling are whimsical, but with a fantastic dark edge. Fairytale retelling with a lot of atmosphere, lyrical language, mythical creatures, & fabulously gothic locations. I was hooked from the start & devoured this like my life depended on it. A great construction of light & dark, plus sacrifice of perfection & the happy ending style. Excellent writing, fun characters, and a gripping plot. Prepare for a cliffhanger.

Gilded is such a great twist on a classic fairy tale. I really enjoyed Meyer‘s characters. They are relatable--as relatable as fairy tale characters can be--and are well developed; I took a real interest in their lives, the obstacles they faced, and their successes and failures. The descriptions and figurative language are extremely effective, transporting me to this fairy tale land. I love how I could tell that Serilda‘s story isn‘t finished.

First book haul of the year. I finally got to spend my Christmas gift card/money. Got some long awaited books, a few I'd never heard of, and a reading buddy. (Squishmallows make some of the best book pillows, and much cheaper and cuter than a lot on the market.) And, I managed to only go over by $3!

This book… I didn‘t want it to end, and when it did, I was happy to learn the sequel comes out next year. The descriptions are lush, the Rumpelstiltskin storyline is cleverly played out, and the doomed romance is as engaging as the characters. Marissa can weave an excellent tale!

On a related note: I hope FairyLoot offers an exclusive edition of Cursed, too.

Rather than #AudioColoring, I did #AudioDecorating while listening to this Rumpelstiltskin re-telling! While I have many titles by Meyer in my TBR, this is my actual first experience with her writing-& I absolutely loved it!! Serilda‘s storytelling combined with her golden flecked eyes have always made trouble for her- but her life spins in an entirely new direction when on the Winter Solstice she encounters the Erlking & dares to lie! Loved it!!

I really enjoyed this Rumplestiltskin retelling. It does end in a bit of a cliffhanger though so I'm curious if there's going to be another book.

Marissa Meyer is my go to for fairytale retellings. She always creates such wonderfully modern worlds that make the story and the characters come to life in a whole new way. Fun read!
