Thanks to Macmillan Publisher for an electronic advanced reader copy as part of the Marissa Meyer Binge-Reads Sweepstakes Grand Prize.

Oh. My. Goodness. It took me until I was maybe 25% through to start getting into the story but once I did I was hooked.  Not being very familiar with the story of Rumplestiltskin I wasn’t sure what to expect. But having read other books by Marissa I figured I’d give Gilded a shot and I’m glad I did! The story has a little bit of everything: brave and daring characters, magical creatures and beings, friendship and romance. The only bad thing is now I’m stuck waiting until November 2022 for the sequel, Cursed, to be released!
