AHHHHH! Once again Marissa Meyer has created a masterpiece!!! I am so in love with this book and its characters. It was such an amazing twist on the classic fairytale of Rumpelstiltskin. I am always ready to read a classic fairytale retelling and this one most certainly did not disappoint! With that ending I do not know how I am going to survive waiting for the next book!
“ When she talked, she could hardly keep herself from telling the most outlandish tales, as though her tongue could not tell the difference between truth and falsehoods. She began to trade in stories and lies herself, and while the other children delighted in her tales—so full of whimsy and enchantment—the elders knew better.”
From the moment I opened the book I was transported to a dark fairytale where anything can happen and there are few, if any, happy endings.
A tale full of secrets, magic, deception, and a girl who wants to be the hero of her own story.
