‘Utterly immersive and captivating…I cannot bear the wait for the next instalment.’

* Joy Lawn, Paperbark Words on Gilded *

‘A compulsive read, and as bewitchingly good as you’d expect from a bestselling YA author. You will stay up all night reading this.’

* Reading Zone on Gilded *

‘Opening the cover of this book is akin to entering a portal into an ethereal realm, into which the audience is drawn deeply by its exquisite descriptions and unlikely romance.’

* Annabel Harz, ArtsHub on Gilded *

‘This is an intriguing retelling, with a modern twist, of the Rumpelstiltskin fairy tale…The cliff-hanging denouement promises a sequel.’

* Magpies on Gilded *‘When it comes to reimagined fairy tales, the reigning queen of the genre is Marissa Meyer…This dark, enchanting book is Meyer at the height of her powers — crafting a new tale with an old-school feel where nobody is guaranteed a happily-everafter. It is fresh and utterly engrossing while also familiar — just what Meyer does best.’ * New York Times on Gilded *‘A gorgeously intricate tale that will have readers locked in from the start…Meyer weaves an enchanting tale filled with whimsically magical moments and some serious suspense. [She] knows how to capture fantastical worlds, and this one is pure perfection for her fans and new readers alike.’ * Booklist on Gilded *‘Intricate worldbuilding and star-crossed romance help temper the Erlking’s brutality, and…well-drawn characters will leave readers craving a sequel.’ * Publishers Weekly on Gilded *‘Meyer flips tradition with a simple question: What if the king whom the miller’s daughter marries is the villain, and Rumpelstiltskin is her only way out?…The queen of fairy tale retellings has spun what is sure to be another best seller.’ * School Library Journal on Gilded *
