Gilded
I just loved following Serilda through this story, seeing what was going to happen next. Listening to her stories myself and wondering how she could be so creative (oh yeah, God blessed, that's right!) Love, love, loved this book. Definitely will be giving it another read (or listen!)

I freaking LOVE Marissa Meyer! I will read every single one of her fairy tale re-tellings. I have re-read the Lunar chronicles three times now and I am sure this will be on my list to re-read again soon. This duology is written so well. You fall in love with the storyteller and even fall in love with the "bad guys." This story takes you on such a wild ride. You can vaguely see the framework of the "old" fairy tales in there, but she doesn't force herself into the box that was created by the original writer, she makes that story her own and I freaking love it. Keep at it Meyers! I will keep on reading everything you write! This is not only getting five stars from me, but I plan on buying the duology for myself (instead of just borrowing it over and over from the library). The narrator of the audiobook is amazing too. I don't think I would even know how to say half the names in this book and she did an amazing job putting the voice to these characters for me.
