I had caught on to what was happening with the tales she was saying before she did, and even though I was listening to it, I had to pause it and yell at her about what she was doing lol I haven’t yelled at a main character in a long time, but Serilda got all the words that day. I say unfortunately because man I didn’t want him to harm those creatures. The coolest thing about this was unfortunately the hunt. I really thought her book Instant Karma was cute, but I have to say I hope there are more re-tellings of folk and fairy tales in her future. Even the fantastical elements in this were good. This series was less whimsy than her Lunar Chronicles story and felt more like I had opened a book of the original tale. I don’t know if this is how the original Rumpelstiltskin is told, but if not, ya girl Marissa Meyer is like an everyday Hans Christian Andersen writing these fairy tales. I remember thinking Marissa Meyer was the only person on the planet who could stretch one story into two full length books. Why did it end like that there would be another one. Ok so at the end of Gilded I was hella confused. So now I’m using this time to give y’all some answers on this instead. Did I feel like I had to do it anyway since it was so close to release and I knew everyone would want to know how the ending came out but most of y’all were still reading Bloodmarked? Also yes. If the Erlking succeeds, it could change the mortal realm forever.Ĭan Serilda find a way to use her storytelling gifts for good-once and for all? And can Serilda and Gild break the spells that tether their spirits to the castle before the Endless Moon finds them truly cursed?

Meanwhile, Serilda is determined to work with Gild to help him solve the mystery of his forgotten name and past.īut soon it becomes clear that the Erlking doesn’t only want to use Serilda to bring back his one true love. In Cursed, Marissa Meyer brings the fairytale-inspired Gilded duology to a conclusion.īe still now, and I will tell you a tale.įollowing a shocking turn of events, Serilda finds herself ensnared in a deadly game of make-believe with the Erlking, who is determined to propel her deeper into the castle’s lies.
