A Curse Dark as Gold by Elizabeth C. Bunce

It was so unique that even if you know Rumplestilten by heart, you will still be surprised by many events and not really know what’s going to happen. The plot, as I mentioned before, was great. He was funny and tricky, the perfect bad guy. As for Jack, well I thought he was great as well. Even though she didn’t get a lot of face time, the reader still got to know her, and in my case came to love her. I could tell she was bursting with energy and she was so much fun. Charlotte’s sister Rosie was also a handful. I also loved her relationship with Randall, it was sweet and strong and just oh so wonderful. I found myself many a time cheering for her in times of trouble and sympathizing with her in times of sorrow. Charlotte was strong yet stubborn and the reader really got to know her as the story progressed. The characters definitely made the book outstanding. What I loved the most though about A CURSE DARK AS GOLD was how it was a retelling of Rumplestitsken, one of my favorite fairy tales, but was still completely original. Bunce definteiy made a stunning step into the world of YA with her debut novel. I literally could not put it down after I got started and was desperate for more with each page turn. Will she figure out her life in time and save the mill or will Jack Spinner get the best of her? Charlotte has now found herself and all the ones she loves in a heap of trouble and is desperate to find a way out. The Miller family doesn’t have a good rep though with deals as they are the reason it is in so much trouble now.

To get this coveted thread, Charlotte must strike a deal with Jack Spinner. This golden thread also might just offer her a chance at true love and a lot of hope.Īll things come with a price though.

She feels like it is her chance to give her sister a future, livelihood for the town, and a way to keep her uncle away from stealing the mill. When the opportunity arises for Charlotte to make and sell golden thread she jumps on it. After Charlotte Miller’s father passes away she is left with the family mill and she is quickly loosing it due to debt.
