Thanks NetGalley for the extended sample.
I love all of Marissa Meyer's books. The sample was amazing. I am so excited to read this book.

I throughly enjoyed reading the sample piece of Gilded and I will most definitely be looking for the book on release day! The plot is already so intriguing to me and somehow I have already been swept away into another land. I love Meyer's writing and can't wait to finish the book!!

I am really excited about this! I love Marissa Meyer. Her books are always lots of fun and imaginative. I was not really interested in her contemporary book but this is right up my alley. The characters, theme and plot so far have been a lot of fun to read. I cannot wait read the final copy.

Omg!!!! I need a full copy of this book right now! I can’t wait. The atmosphere and the fairytale feel. If you loved The Bear and the Nightingale, your going love this.

I am so beyond excited to get the finished copy. A Rumpelstiltskin retelling is exactly what I need and who better to write it than Marissa Meyer! 10/10

This book is definitely on my tbr list. Thanks to @netgalley for the extended sample.

A retelling of Rumplestiltskin, Serilda and her big mouth finds themself in a lie that could end her and her families life. When the Elf king comes based on her claim that she can spin straw into gold, she knows she blew it. then a strange magic man shows up. And that’s where the sample ends. It both makes me mad and very eager for the rest. Why can’t it be November already?

LOOOVe Marissa Meyer! I’ll read anything she releases, but I was especially excited to read a retelling about Rump! Gilded was wonderful. Def recommend.

Well, this was an absolutely intriguing sampler! I loved the imagery for this excerpt (which wasn't a small excerpt, by any means). This felt a bit darker than some of Meyer's other writing, and I think most of us know the story of King Midas. Can't wait to continue to read more when it's published!

I’m really excited to continue reading this when it comes out. There wasn’t really any hook to get me reading tho. I kind had to just push thru the beginning.

I think this is the story with rumplstiltskin isn’t it? The spinning gold. I’m pretty sure anyway.

If the Erkling end up as a love interest, I’m rage quitting though 😡.

Wow. I really love the beginning of this story. I think Marissa Meyer's writing continues to amaze me. Every time I pick up one of her books, I'm instantly transported into whatever world she's building and am immediately able to dissolve into the prose and observe the characters. While I'm a little frustrated I can't continue on until the publication date, I loved getting this sampler.

This was a well written, interesting excerpt. It had vivid imagery and good world building. I could easily see myself drawn into the full book when it is released. I would recommend this book to others. Thanks to NetGalley and the Publisher for the excerpt.

gilded is a rumpelstiltskin retelling with gothic, wintery vibes and all sorts of eerie creatures from german fairytales. cursed by the god of lies, serilda has grown up isolated and distrusted by the people in her town. her stories are enchanting, but each is another reason to disbelieve her—so when she helps two moss maidens escape the erlking and his hunt by weaving yet another tale, of course no one believes her.

on the next full moon, the erlking summons her and she’s spirited away to his castle. displeased about being lied to, he sets her a task: prove she can actually spin straw into gold, or die.

and that, unfortunately, is where this sampler ends. i breezed through these ten chapters and really enjoyed marissa meyer’s writing, but i struggled to connect with any of the characters. hopefully that will change once i read the rest of the book, because i am certainly intrigued by the story itself.

Once again, I quickly fell in love with Meyer's storytelling and characters. I'm so jealous this was only a short sampler, I'm very eager to read more! I will absolutely be purchasing this when it comes out, and I am dying to know what happens next.

For fans of fantasy and Meyer's previous works, Gilded pulled me into this new fairytale realm. For those who love traditional fairytales and faerie lore, I highly recommend!

This sounds amazing! I can't wait to read the full book. Marissa Meyer is one of my favorite authors. The cover of this is also amazing.

WHOA- okay, hold up. I need more. So much more.

Marissa Meyer is a genius with writing and I cannot believe I am left hanging after only 10 chapters. The world, characters, writing... it's all spectacular and leaves you wanting more.

I obviously don't have a ton to say regarding this right now as it basically was a snippet of the story, but it's definitely getting preordered!

I just can't wait to get my hands on the full book. I was so immersed in the sampler, I can't imagine how much I'll love it when I read the complete book. Marissa Meyer is an extraordinary author and word-builder, and anything she writes is sure to entrance everyone. A Rumpelstiltskin re-telling is such a good idea, and I'm super excited to see where this book goes! Thank you for the e-arc!!

I love Marissa Meyer for her fairytale retellings and I don't believe I've read one of Rumpelstilskin.

Even in the extender sampler I got enticed by the world and story already. It's unfortunate its just a sampler because I'm left wanting more!

This was marvelous, everything I expected from Meyer and THEN some. Wowza, y'all are not ready for this. Thank you for the e-arc!

I love fairytale retellings and Gilded by Marissa Meyer had me entranced with her retelling of Rumpelstilskin.

Marissa Meyer’s world building and storytelling ability is already well known and shines through in the extended sampler of Gilded.

The sampler left me intrigued on how the story would pan out and what other twists would Marissa Meyer have in this retelling. So excited!

This little teaser worked its magic; I’m looking forward to reading the rest of the book now! Not really looking forward to waiting until November…
