Summary
If Nor can’t spin gold， she can always spin lies。
When seventeen-year-old Nor rescues a captured faerie in the woods， he gifts her with a magical golden thread she can use to summon him for a favor。 Instead， Nor uses it for a con—to convince villagers to buy straw that can be transformed into gold。 Her trick works a little too well， attracting the suspicion of Prince Casper， who hates nobody more than a liar。 Intent on punishing Nor， he demands that she spin a room of straw into gold and as her reward， he will marry her。 Should she refuse or fail， the consequences will be dire。

If there’s anything I love it’s fairytale retellings， morally grey characters， and plot twists。 I’ve never read a Rumpelstiltskin retelling， but I was eager to see how this retelling would unfold considering how the original story goes， and I was not disappointed！ I’m a sucker for independent women who can hold their own and Nor is nothing short of that。 I started reading today about halfway through and could。 not。 put。 it。 down。 I need the sequel and I need it now*Not me freaking out with 20 pa If there’s anything I love it’s fairytale retellings， morally grey characters， and plot twists。 I’ve never read a Rumpelstiltskin retelling， but I was eager to see how this retelling would unfold considering how the original story goes， and I was not disappointed！ I’m a sucker for independent women who can hold their own and Nor is nothing short of that。 I started reading today about halfway through and could。 not。 put。 it。 down。 I need the sequel and I need it now*Not me freaking out with 20 pages left just KNOWING i was going to finish this book with a thousand more questions， hence me writing this review at 3:45 in the morning because my bookhangover has taken over 。。。more

Interesting twist （pun intended） on an old story。 It doesn't say anything about a sequel， though， so I am hoping we won't just be left hanging！ Interesting twist （pun intended） on an old story。 It doesn't say anything about a sequel， though， so I am hoping we won't just be left hanging！ 。。。more

Gold Spun is a fantastic tale about a quirky， brave young woman named Nor who finds herself swept up in romance with not one but two handsome and possibly dangerous men。 One， a crowned prince。 The other， a faerie from a land that is a sworn enemy of the prince's land。 Nor must battle conflicting feelings， deception， and threats against her loved ones in her struggle to figure out where she belongs in the world。Brandie June writes beautifully of the land of Reynallis that Nor inhabits。 Her writin Gold Spun is a fantastic tale about a quirky， brave young woman named Nor who finds herself swept up in romance with not one but two handsome and possibly dangerous men。 One， a crowned prince。 The other， a faerie from a land that is a sworn enemy of the prince's land。 Nor must battle conflicting feelings， deception， and threats against her loved ones in her struggle to figure out where she belongs in the world。Brandie June writes beautifully of the land of Reynallis that Nor inhabits。 Her writing transported me into the forests， palaces， royal balls and pitched battles to the death。 The end will leave you guessing - whatever will happen to Nor and her loved one（s）？ I eagerly await the sequel。 。。。more

Reinventing the beloved classic Rumpelstiltskin by the Brothers Grimm， June offers fantasy readers an escape into a pre-nineteenth century world where faeries， kingdoms， mean girls， and budding love abound。 Navigating her post-war orphan pilgrimage as a con artist， Nor， the protagonist， often skirts the law in her efforts to provide her siblings the basic necessities。 Taking a cue straight from the faerie playbook， Nor attempts to swindle the good people of Reynallis out of their hard-earned coi Reinventing the beloved classic Rumpelstiltskin by the Brothers Grimm， June offers fantasy readers an escape into a pre-nineteenth century world where faeries， kingdoms， mean girls， and budding love abound。 Navigating her post-war orphan pilgrimage as a con artist， Nor， the protagonist， often skirts the law in her efforts to provide her siblings the basic necessities。 Taking a cue straight from the faerie playbook， Nor attempts to swindle the good people of Reynallis out of their hard-earned coin by decreeing she can turn magic straw into gold。 Piquing the prince’s untoward scrutiny， Nor must prove her claim or suffer the presumed consequences。 With the promise of freedom and a betrothal to the prince， she recruits the fay， who owes her his life， and together they replenish the royal treasury。Addressing the sexual tension between Nor and her love interests—Prince Casper and the infamous Rumpelstiltskin—with a delicate touch and temperate pacing， the author delivers a promising simmer rather than a full-on boil， which makes Gold Spun ideally suited for younger teens。 。。。more

Such a fun book！ It reads like a classic fairytale filled with pretty clothes and princes and faeries， which I really loved。 I loved this retelling of Rumpelstilskin which gives the miller's daughter more autonomy and voice and center's her story。 The characters were complex， clever， and charming in their own ways， even as they conflicted with one another， and I'm excited to see how June will develop this story further in a sequel！！ Such a fun book！ It reads like a classic fairytale filled with pretty clothes and princes and faeries， which I really loved。 I loved this retelling of Rumpelstilskin which gives the miller's daughter more autonomy and voice and center's her story。 The characters were complex， clever， and charming in their own ways， even as they conflicted with one another， and I'm excited to see how June will develop this story further in a sequel！！ 。。。more

Thanks to the publisher for a review copy！ I LOVED this retelling！ It’s very unique and a fun spin on a classic tale。 I like how Rumpelstiltskin has been reimagined into a young beautiful faerie。 The main character Nor is a strong female character。 The prince is also complex and intriguing。 I liked the romance in the book and honestly wish there was more！ I’m very interested to find out what will happen in the next book （yes this is not a standalone）。 If you like twisted retellings， you’ll enjoy Thanks to the publisher for a review copy！ I LOVED this retelling！ It’s very unique and a fun spin on a classic tale。 I like how Rumpelstiltskin has been reimagined into a young beautiful faerie。 The main character Nor is a strong female character。 The prince is also complex and intriguing。 I liked the romance in the book and honestly wish there was more！ I’m very interested to find out what will happen in the next book （yes this is not a standalone）。 If you like twisted retellings， you’ll enjoy this one！ 。。。more

Where can I even start？This book was a ride from start to finish。 I simply couldn’t put it down。 At first I thought it was a standalone， but soon discovered the story is way to complex to have its own book。 The foreshadow， the questions left unanswered， the drama， the romance， EVERYTHING was simply perfect to keep the readers in their toes！ The cover did took me by surprise。 The story was just so captivating that I was expecting something else， but the description was alluring enough to pull me Where can I even start？This book was a ride from start to finish。 I simply couldn’t put it down。 At first I thought it was a standalone， but soon discovered the story is way to complex to have its own book。 The foreshadow， the questions left unanswered， the drama， the romance， EVERYTHING was simply perfect to keep the readers in their toes！ The cover did took me by surprise。 The story was just so captivating that I was expecting something else， but the description was alluring enough to pull me in。 This book is addicting， Nor is the funniest and most conniving FMC I have read in a while， and i didn’t expect to love Pel as much as I did。It left me wanting more！ This books is not even out yet and I already can’t wait for the next one。 。。。more

This book is incredible！ My favorite thing about Gold Spun is the main character， Nor。 Instead of the captive， weeping miller's daughter of the original tale， Nor is a bold， cunning， and fierce woman who will stop at nothing to keep her family safe and trips over her own flaws。Instead of an isolated story about three characters， Gold Spun weaves a compelling world in a dazzling palace set against a backdrop of war， conflict， and strife。 The rich history of the world plays into the character's re This book is incredible！ My favorite thing about Gold Spun is the main character， Nor。 Instead of the captive， weeping miller's daughter of the original tale， Nor is a bold， cunning， and fierce woman who will stop at nothing to keep her family safe and trips over her own flaws。Instead of an isolated story about three characters， Gold Spun weaves a compelling world in a dazzling palace set against a backdrop of war， conflict， and strife。 The rich history of the world plays into the character's relationships and desires in such a way that both come to life。 This is the first book in a potential duology/series and I can't wait to read more！Disclosure: June and I are a part of the same writing group。 。。。more
