“Gilded” follows the adventures of Serilda, a girl blessed by the god of lies she has a remarkable ability for telling tales. I really enjoyed reading it, however I don’t think the romantic aspect of it is Meyer’s best work. “Gilded” is the first of a planned duology, separate from the “The Lunar Chronicles” universe, and was released November 2, 2021. There, she meets a man who offers to spin the straw into gold for her in exchange for her first born child. “Rumpelstiltskin” is a classic tale in which a man claims his daughter can spin straw into gold, and the king overhears and takes her away, locking her in a room with a pile of straw, a spinning wheel, and orders to turn the straw into gold. Marissa Meyer, author of sci-fi retellings of classic fairy tales in the New York Times bestselling series “The Lunar Chronicles,” is often referred to by her fans as the “queen of retellings.” Her newest book, “Gilded,” is a dark fantasy retelling of “Rumpelstiltskin” that also incorporates other German folktales.
