Gilded Book Review

” Gilded ” is a good book that you can read online or download to read it later. Before starting the reading or downloading, here is the summary of the book that you can read. 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.

Brief Summary Gilded by Marissa Meyer

As an adult reading that, you can’t help but think, “What is wrong with you! Why the Holy Heck would you tell such a boneheaded lie?” As a kid, however, I wouldn’t have taken much notice. If I thought about it at all, it would just be something like, “Grownups are weird.” Which, by the way, is totally fair. Grownups do and believe any number of things that make no sense at all to a kid. Indeed, the Miller might point out that in the end, everything turns out well for his daughter — she ended up Queen with a beautiful child. Of course, the Miller couldn’t have predicted that, but if things were bad enough for him and her, “Let’s roll the dice” was perhaps not a totally idiotic strategy.Marissa Meyer doesn’t have the luxury of simply dismissing weird grownups that kid-me had. If she’s going to re-tell Rumpelstiltskin, then she has to justify that lie somehow. She does this convincingly — the gold-into-straw lie makes sense when it is told. In fact, she does a pretty good job of making the rest of Rumpelstiltskin make sense, if only in the fairy tale way of making sense in the magical world in which the story takes place.
