What an intriguing little book! I was quickly interested in the story, and gobbled it up like a dragon.
This fairy tale retelling was one I was in no way familiar with- seriously, the only Rumpelstillskin I ever knew was from Shrek. Ha. So, this fairy tale was so cool!
The characters were, for the most part, well done. Occasionally, the main character seemed a bit whiny, but I leave this due to the fact that she was pregnant, had lost her family, and had never been taught how to love, or been taught to act like a young lady. At least, that's what I got. So, apart from this, the story was well woven! It was so neat how in such a short time, so much could be woven together and fitted. A well paced book.

Simple but good

Spinner of secrets is not terribly complex but a nice fairy story. I wish only that the villains were said to be of a different less maligned group than they were.
