The Gold-Son by Carrie Anne Noble
3.0
This was a fast read and inventive reimagining of the Rumpelstiltskin fairy tale. Although 16-year-old Tommin is the protagonist, I liked the character Eve even better. She was a strong, positive female lead who used her smarts to save the day. Although I felt like there were some story gaps that were glossed over, I still found this to be an enjoyable read overall and would be interested in reading other fairy tale retellings by this author based on this offering.
I used this Amazon Prime read as my pick for the 2019 POPSUGAR Ultimate Reading Challenge prompt "a book featuring an extinct or imaginary creature" (leprechauns, trolls, faeries, and more!) and the 2019 Modern Mrs. Darcy Reading Challenge prompt "a book you chose for the cover" (the cover caught my eye as I was scrolling through the Amazon Prime reads, which prompted me to read the blurb and check it out).
