Beautifully and Hauntingly Deep This is truly a remarkable version of Rumpelstiltskin. The characters are so deep and intricately woven into the story. The magic and truth behind all the words felt so raw and realistic. Definitely a story that digs with wonder into the soul of the reader. At first the author's descriptions and details felt heavy until I really saw and unraveled the complexity of the story's feel. Then the words took on a life of their own and brought life to this classic tale. Read Rated for ages 14 for embracing the raw realities of life with candor and delicacy. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse

The mystery of Rosamund Hodge's Crimson Bound meets the romance of every Beauty and the Beast retelling. An old tale tells the story of how a little man named Rumpelstiltskin spun straw into gold and tricked a desperate girl into trading away her baby. But that's not exactly how it happened. The real story began with a drunken father who kept throwing money away on alcohol and women, while his daughter, Aoife, ran the family farm on her own. When he gambled away everything they owned to the Duke, it was up to her to spin straw into gold to win it all back. With her wits and the help of a magical guardian, she outsmarted the Duke and saved the day. Well almost...Her guardian suddenly turned on Aoife and sent her on a quest to find his name, the clues to which were hidden deep in the woods, a moldy dungeon, and a dead woman's chamber. Her feelings for one of the men who tricked her threaten to complicate everything. Not the tale of a damsel in distress, this is the story of a tenacious, young woman who solved a mystery so great that not even the enchanted man who spun straw into gold could figure it out. Not until Aoife came along. No library descriptions found. |

You don't see many versions of Rumpelstiltskin so I was intrigued when I started this. The beginning was too slow for me, I felt like not much was happening. It definitely picked up in the latter half. I liked seeing the romance develop and the backstory was interesting. Aoife was smart and independent, which I loved. Not bad overall ( )
