![]() I enjoyed listening to the book and thought it was great. Her Cinder series is one of my favorites so I thought why not. Thank you so much to NetGalley and Macmillan for providing me with an eARC in exchange for an honest review! The ending was a bit predictable, but still very satisfying and I would love to read another book set in this perfectly magical world. These books are a bit long and I would have loved the story to be spread out amongst a trilogy. I do think there was too much time spent focusing on her relationship with the Erlking and led me to hoping for a love triangle or at least a redemption arc for the villain. Marissa Meyer always writes such compelling side characters and the children in this duology were both so heartwarming and heart wrenching. ![]() I loved Serilda as a heroine and appreciated the way she was always able to tell a lie and craft a story to find her way out of trouble. I’m not too familiar with the story of Rumplestiltskin, but the plot twists were unpredictable and kept me engaged throughout the entire book. ![]() ![]() ![]() Though Gilded dragged a bit at points, I found Cursed to have a much more thrilling plot that kept me listening for two days straight, desperate to find out the ending. The world building was expertly done with fantasy elements from German folklore that felt truly immersive. I’ve read nearly every book she’s written, but Gilded and Cursed quickly became my new favorite. Marissa Meyer is a must-read author for me. ![]()
