The Crimson Thread: A Retelling of "rumpelstiltskin" by Suzanne Weyn

2.0

This book was only ok for me. I liked that Bertie is from Ireland. I was not convinced of either of the romantic interests though. James was obviously a player from the start; I knew for certain he wouldn't be the one Bertie ended up with. But I was by no means impressed with the alternative. Ray/Rudolph was a little creepy. There's no doubt he filled that characterization of Rumplestiltskin very well. But believing in him as any part of the "happily ever after" was not working for me.
