Long ago cursed by the god of lies, a poor miller's daughter has developed a talent for spinning stories that are fantastical and spellbinding and entirely untrue. Or so everyone believes.

When one of Serilda's outlandish tales draws the attention of the sinister Erlking and his undead hunters, she finds herself swept away into a grim world where ghouls and phantoms prowl the earth and hollow-eyed ravens track her every move. The king orders Serilda to complete the impossible task of spinning straw into gold, or be killed for telling falsehoods.

In her desperation, Serilda unwittingly summons a mysterious boy to her aid. He agrees to help her… for a price. Love isn't meant to be part of the bargain. Soon Serilda realizes that there is more than one secret hidden in the castle walls, including an ancient curse that must be broken if she hopes to end the tyranny of the king and his wild hunt forever.

Busy busybooklr She betrayed my trust. Oct 20, Emily May rated it it was ok Shelves: fantasy , arc , young-adult , But there are two sides to every story. The hero and the villain. The dark and the light. The blessing and the curse. And what the miller had not understood is that the god of stories is also the god of lies.

I'm still deciding my rating as I write this review. I liked The first hundred or so pages were fantastic, really well-written and compelling, right up to where the first round of straw has been spun into gold.

After that, I thought things got repetitive But there are two sides to every story. After that, I thought things got repetitive, convoluted and a bit boring. Gilded is one of those books where I liked the idea of it more than the actual reading experience.

I love, for example, that Meyer wove so much German folklore into this retelling, not just that of the Rumpelstiltskin tale, but also the Erlking, Shrub Grandmother and Nachtkrapp. You can tell that Meyer did her research. A major problem here, I feel, is that Rumpelstiltskin is a short tale and Meyer attempts to extend it to over five hundred pages of novel. Part of this is achieved by adding in all the mythology extras above, which is exciting, but also makes it unnecessarily convoluted at times.

Part of it involves adding in lots of side characters and padding, most of which I did not care about. I know the tale, I know Serilda is going to be brought back to the king's palace again, so all the dithering around until he shows up really dragged the story down.

I also did not care for what is ultimately at the centre of this story-- the romance. The chemistry was not there for me and it felt like there were too many important things going on for me to invest in the two of them giving each other googly eyes. Also, part of it may be my fault for initially assuming Meyer was going to view spoiler [redeem the Erlking and have him as the love interest. Because evil fae kings with a sensitive side are absolutely my thing.

Hype might convince me to give it a try, but right now I'm thinking I'll pass on the sequel. View all 16 comments. Adi Rocks Socks I placed a hold for this one at the library, but now I'm wondering if I should just cancel it. Rumplestiltskin retellings are always fascinating, but I placed a hold for this one at the library, but now I'm wondering if I should just cancel it.

Rumplestiltskin retellings are always fascinating, but it's bothersome when authors drag out the content just to make it a series. Fabrizia Exactly so! Well, hello hello. Another Marissa Meyer book? Sign me up. Marissa Meyer writes an atmospheric reimagining of Rumpelstiltskin set in Germany, an enchanting gothic fairytale world firmly rooted in the nightmare horror end of the genre.

As a school assistant, however, she is loved by children for her ability to spin stories from what appears to be thin air, bu Marissa Meyer writes an atmospheric reimagining of Rumpelstiltskin set in Germany, an enchanting gothic fairytale world firmly rooted in the nightmare horror end of the genre. As a school assistant, however, she is loved by children for her ability to spin stories from what appears to be thin air, but are her stories really lies? Her patron deity is Wyrdith, the god of stories, fortune, lies and fate, and at the full moon every month, a time when the veil of the other darker world lifts, this opens the entry into our world of the wildly exuberant hunt led by the evil Erlking.

The hunt is notorious for taking children and bewitching others to join, none of whom are ever seen alive again. One night, with his entourage of the undead and hellhounds, the Erlking is seeking 2 moss maidens whom Serilda hides, deceiving him that she can spin gold from straw.

This is to haunt her as the following full moon, she is taken to the Erlking's home, Adalheid Castle, located in the middle of a lake, to be punished for her lies. She is taken into a dungeon full of straw that she is expected to spin into gold by the morning, if she fails she will die. Her demise seems certain, she cannot fulfil this impossible task, but a boy, a polstergeist, named Gild appears.

He knows nothing of himself or his past, Gild is cursed to inhabit the Castle and its grounds, unable to ever depart. What he can do is take straw and spin it into gold, providing he is paid for his magical abilities. What was not on the card was love. And why does the Erlking, a highly skilled magician, want the spun gold?

This is the first book I have read by Meyer, it is exquisitely written, she weaves a wondrous fairytale world of dark magic, Aschen Wood where no mortal belongs, the creepy territory of the dark ones, and the forest folk, Adalheid Castle, along with the inclusion of a host of other dark beings, the dead and other magical creatures.

This is a beguiling and immersive read, whilst horror lies round almost every corner, you cannot help but root for Serilda and Gild, wondering how or even if they can escape the terrors of the fate that has befallen them. I am eagerly looking forward to the next book to see where it all ends. Highly recommended.

Many thanks to the publisher for an ARC. View all 20 comments. Can Marissa Meyer write retellings for every story ever, please??? View 2 comments.

This is a magical and enchanting retelling of the story of Rumpelstiltskin and has all the elements of the Grimm original. Here we have goblins, Moss maidens, Witches, fairies, stolen princesses, stolen children, monsters, ruined castles, dungeons and high towers. There are ghosts, ghouls, phantoms, spirits, spells, curses and enchantments and lording it over all is the cruel, vengefu Fancy a curl up, snuggle down read as Autumn descends, hot chocolate optional?!

There are ghosts, ghouls, phantoms, spirits, spells, curses and enchantments and lording it over all is the cruel, vengeful Erlking, King Grim, whose hounds and hunts prowl the forests with ravens tracking moves.

Has he met his match in millers daughter Serilda? Serilda, cursed by the God of Lies and possessor of spinning eyes of golden wheels, is a weaver of fairy tales but is she capable of spinning something out of nothing as Erlking demands?

This is a marvellously written story which keeps you spellbound from beginning to end. The characters are brilliantly crafted and spring to life before your eyes with all the various full moons shining brightly on them. Overall, this is a compelling twist on the original with a cliffhanger of an ending.

With thanks to NetGalley and especially to Faber and Faber for the much appreciated arc in return for an honest review. View all 41 comments. I saw this at a bookstore today and I got a little too excited, so I bought it, naturally. I didn't know the reveals were going to happen today, I was expecting for a cover reveal but not a summary.

So, this was a nice surprise. Also, it's kind of interesting that it's going to be a Rumplestiltskin retelling, since there aren't many of those. Alright Marissa, once again I have high hopes and expectations for your new book. I need a minute. How dare of me for missing this? If this is real and it's coming out this exact year, then we have nothing to worry about Audio ARC received. Thank you so much, Macmillan Audio!!! Super excited to read this book.

I love Cinder and i hope i enjoy reading this as much as you do. Werewolf books are not my favorite. Something about them turning into animals complete with animal private parts kind of creeps me out.

Then I start wondering if they ever do it when they are werewolves and the thoughts just get weirder. But your enthusiam for these books makes me think I need to give Cinder a go. Definitely adding this series to ny wishlist. Thanks Giselle!

So glad you liked it. I checked out Cinder from the library a couple of days ago and I cant wait to start it! Great review Giselle. Mel thedailyprophecy. So excited to read the next book! This author really broke my heart. Hoping she can mend it back together! I agree that the ending in Cinder was foreseeable, but it was still a very enjoyable read.

And Wolf sounds very enticing! Looking forward to meeting Wolf. This is on its way to me, woo hoo! Cant wait to read it! I am also really excited to meet Rapunzel in the third book. Fantastic review. Also, clearly I need to visit you here more often.

I swear that every time I do your blog is prettier. To do the romance justice, the book would have needed to be even longer, which, honestly, I would have been okay with.

Every time I see a good review for it I get a bit more excited. I am envious you have already read this! Very much looking forward to reading it.. I really need to meet Wolf. Great review dear! I agree with you, Giselle. I really liked Scarlet too. I loved the take on Little Red Riding Hood and her grandmother.
