For our final week of Rumpelstiltskin Month, Drew and Cassie are delighted to be joined by Bethanie from Prince Kai Fan Pod to discuss Gilded and Cursed, the recently-completed YA duology by Marissa Meyer. This duology centers around Serilda, the daughter of a miller who was blessed by the god of fate and fortune and who is known for the fantastical stories she tells. When she comes face-to-face with the dangerous Erlking, her ability to tell stories gets her in trouble when she claims to spin straw into gold. Locked away in his castle, all seems hopeless - until a young man named Gild appears and offers to help. We discuss Marissa Meyer's use of names, the meanings behind some of the location names, Gilded vs. Wicked word counts, Cassie's lack of trust in Marissa, Cassie's fondness for banter, and so much more! And of course, we wrap up by revealing next month's fairy tale!
