It was an okay idea, it just took too long to play out.
This is a retelling of the classic fairytale Rumpelstiltskin. It takes about 100 pages to really get going, but it is worth pushing through.
Elizabeth Bunce weaves a magical tale that helps provide a view on why Rumpelstiltskin would want to trade his services for a miller’s child. This is a fantastic story of family, trust and forgiveness. It will satisfy justice for all parties involved in relation to their deeply buried secrets.
