I could not stop reading the First Look!
Gilded by Marissa Meyers is beautifully written and the words come alive on the page. You can absolutely picture Serilda, as she first gets into trouble for telling tales and a completely different Serilda as she interacts with the children, who clearly adore her. The Erlking, dead or alive, is such a clearly defined character that you can absolutely see his imposing figure in your minds eye. It is impossible not to root for Serilda who seems to really need a win, as she attempts to protect the Moss Maidens, that she squirreled away in her cellar. Serilda is cleaver and quick and I liked her from the beginning. The only thing I did not like is when the First Look ended, as I absolutely need to know what happens next.
The cover of the book grabs your attention and as a result I wanted to know more and read the except. Excellent graphic, excellent book.
