The Crimson Thread: A Retelling of "rumpelstiltskin", by Suzanne Weyn
3.0
I love fairy tale based books and this was the next one from the series on my list.
I adored this book. It was fun learning about the lives and how immigrants lived back then. Ray is by far my favourite character, because he is something different than your usual ‘knight in shining armour’. The writing is also lovely.
I don’t think there was really anything I disliked. I hated James, he was SO sleazy.
I love this book. Okay, when I was little I was given a book about Rumplestiltskin. It was one of those books where you press the buttons and they made sounds. Just the drawings were creepy enough, but add the voices and you got yourself a nightmare. I hated the tale of Rumplestitskin, but this made me think different. It not creepy at all.
I can't remember if there are any swears, but if there was, it was minor. There are a couple kisses, and the only violence is a small brawl.
