Rumpled by Lacey Louwagie

3.0

When I first picked this up I was expecting more of a middle grade/ya reading level but it feels more adult. The first page jumps in and makes a reference of things some fathers do to their daughters that is quite illegal (or at least frowned upon if both adults) in many countries. So that set the tone foe the maturity level. Yet there is references to incest, adultery and yes the characters have sex (sorry no stock bringing the baby in this one!). But nothing graphic.
I both felt bad for Rumpelstiltskin and annoyed with him. He really is pathetic in many ways. I was left with questions of what Emily truly though of him in the end. A curious retelling (or perhaps just a different view?) that makes sense in many ways.
