Twisted: The Girl Who Uncovered Rumpelstiltskin's Name by Bonnie M. Hennessy
3.0
It took me a little while to get into this one, but once I did I enjoyed it. It was an interesting retelling of the Rumpelstiltskin story, and I felt that its greatest strength came when it deviated more from the original story. Aoife gave me mixed feelings, I liked her when she was interacting with Maeve and when she was focused on improving the land/profit, but at other times she felt a little forced in being 'different'. I also found the sudden shift in names for the Duke a little jarring as it happened between one scene and the other, and it took me a moment to realise it was the same person. Rumpelstiltskin was done brilliantly though, and I simultaneously felt for him and was creeped out at times.
