cursed marissa meyer book 2 release date

I can’t wait for the next instalment, as Gilded left readers hanging! I hardly noticed the pages turning, not a mean feat for a 500-page novel!

This is a fast-paced read which will keep you reading well into the night.

I particularly enjoyed the backstory of both the antagonist and Gild. The characters leapt from the page – from the main character, Serilda to the villainous Erlking, every character was finely drawn. Meyer’s description of monsters and characters, and the landscape soon had me turning me pages with a mix of excitement and trepidation. I was soon swept away by Meyer’s fantastical world and could easily visualise every element. Just like Shahrazad in The Thousand and One Nights, Serilda must perform or be killed. Meyer has taken the story of Rumpelstiltskin and made a modern fantasy story of love.

In a spin off from the traditional fairy tale of Rumpelstiltskin, bestselling author, Marissa Meyer has created a story of courage, suspense, and fantasy in Gilded, and her fans will not be disappointed.Įvery full moon, the main protagonist, Serilda must spin straw into gold or face death. Gilded is about a storyteller who in saving others becomes enslaved. This is the only night when the great gods are forced to take their beastly forms. This year was different, for an Endless Moon only occurs when the winter solstice coincides with a bright moon in all its fullness. The wild hunt had emerged, but this year they were not only seeking lost souls and aimless drunkards and naughty children who had risked misbehaving at a most inopportune time. The sky was slate grey and a blizzard was being heralded across the land by the chilling howls of the hounds, the thunder of hooves. Serilda and Gild must try to thwart his plans, all while solving the mystery of Gild's forgotten name, freeing his younger sister who is trapped inside Gravenstone Castle, and trying to protect their unborn child.Romance, adventure, and Serilda's journey to finding her power as a woman, a mother, and a partner make this a retelling that Meyer fans-old and new-will treasure.But for our purposes, it started during that Endless Moon.

But he doesn't want just one god-he wants to capture all seven, and force them to bring down the veil that keeps the Dark Ones separate from the land of the mortals. Book two of beloved New York Times-bestselling author Marissa Meyer's retelling of the Rumplestiltskin fairy taleNew York Times-bestselling author Marissa Meyer concludes her young-adult retelling of Rumpelstiltskin in Cursed, the sequel to Gilded.Serilda and Gild attempt to break the curses that tether their spirits to Adalheid's haunted castle before the Endless Moon, when the Erlking means to capture one of the seven gods and make a wish to return his lover, Perchta, from the underworld.
