I am not super familiar with the tale of Rumpelstiltskin but I definitely enjoyed this retelling and that she made it into a romance with some ghosts and ghouls mixed in. I loved the story telling aspect and how it tied into the end.
What I didn’t enjoy was the back and forth. It felt like the story never really progressed she never got anywhere or learned anything new until the end. This made it super hard to pick up and therefore put me in a slump.
I wasn’t super attached to the characters but as usual I did love the writing, it was more the plot movement that deterred my enjoyment level.
I am hopeful though that the new book will be better and I am looking forward to picking it up....more

I generally enjoy the sort of villains back story and this was kind of the same where she didn’t have a change of heart. What was best about this was the writing, kept me wanting more, and the pacing of the story, I never felt bored reading it. Overall good story and one I like to reread at Christmas time.✨...more
