Everyone is familiar with the tale of Rumpelstiltskin, and this book allows us to graciously fall back in time to the wonderous fairytale world of kings, witches, magic, spells and much much more! The main character Serilda is known for spinning lie after lie creating outlandish stories which lands her on the wrong side of many people and eventually a king where she then has to figure out how to spin straw into gold in order to save not only herself but also the fate of a kingdom from that power hungry king. My mind has already escaped into this grim fairytale world and I can feel myself being swept away alongside the mischievous Serilda who is a born trouble maker at heart who captured my attention from the beginning! I am counting down the time to when I can continue moving through the castle walls, find out all the hidden secrets, break the ancient curse to save the kingdom and see what other trouble she lands in. Love may not have been part of the original plan, but I am ready to fall in love right beside Serilda. If you are one for fantasy novels like myself, this book is an absolute must that is truly golden!
