it was amazing
bookshelves: 500-page-plus, retelling-fairytale, romance

“The world was full of small enchantments, when one was wiling to look for them. And Serilda was always looking.�

Loved it! 💖

Serilda has always been an outsider, the villagers give her a wide berth. The story goes that her father assisted a god and in return blessed him and his wife with a daughter. A daughter blessed by the god of stories and lies.

When the Erlking and his night hunt come rising through town on the full moon Serilda finds herself caught up in the hunt and then imprisoned in his castle.

Caught in a lie that she can spin straw into gold, Serilda is told to prove it or be killed at dawn. Until a boy turns up who can help her, but for a price.

I was actually surprised by how much i enjoyed this. I thought the romance would be too much, but it was done really well. I loved the world building, the magical elements, the story telling and the secret reveals.

Cannot wait for book 2!
