Retelling
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This is a Rumplestiltskin retelling about a young girl who takes up her family’s moneylending work and is soon rumored to be able to turn silver into gold, which attracts an ancient and powerful being that requires her to produce more gold than she’s ever seen before.
This was a great winter read, perfect for fans of ‘The Bear and the Nightingale’ and ‘Uprooted’.
I enjoyed the twist on a fairytale that doesn’t seem to get much love (although Rumplestiltskin has a prominent role in OUAT). This is also much more ‘fae’ than fairytale, so perfect for adult fantasy lovers!
