I'm not a fan of retellings of fairy tales. I do believe that there are some good examples (for instance,[b: The Bear and the Nightingale 25489134 The Bear and the Nightingale (Winternight Trilogy, #1) Katherine Arden https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1470731420s/25489134.jpg 45268929])? but mostly I don't enjoy reading the same story over and over again. I'm excited to tell you, that that was not the case with [b: Spinning Silver 36896898 Spinning Silver Naomi Novik https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1513872748s/36896898.jpg 58657620]. To be honest, I haven't even thought, that it is actually a retelling of Rumpelstiltskin. This book is so much more complex than just a story about guessing the name. The novel definitely has a general fairytalish atmosphere (even if it is more of a grim kind), but it's here nonetheless. Somehow I'm not in a mood to write an extensive review, so I would like to be short. Is this book worth the time, that I've spent reading it? Definitely! However, I still like [b: Uprooted 22544764 Uprooted Naomi Novik https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1480121122s/22544764.jpg 41876730] more because of humour.
