Gilded

I read this book because I enjoy Meyer, but I am definitely no longer a member of the target audience.
Good things:
-All the little bits of culture scattered throughout.
-The feeling of community. I believed it when characters liked each other.
-Which fairy tale was chosen. It was one of my faves as a kid.
-The storytelling used as a vehicle.
Bad things:
-The pacing. I didn't realize there was a sequel planned when I started reading it. I felt cheated towards the end because the story within a story didn't have a satisfying ending.
