This event happens, but we learn that maybe the Staryk King is the lesser of all evils. The princess would be safe and Miryem (the main protagonist) can run away. The princess and Miss Rumpelstiltskin meet in the land of the Staryk and devise a plan to solve both scenarios - give up the Staryk King to the demon.
She is married to the duke who just happens to be consumed by a demon who wants to drink the soul of her. Our last protagonist is a princesswho just happens to have Staryk blood in her and has the ability to go into the Staryk world with ease. Unfortunately, that does not come without a price. She simply wants to just own her land, love who she wants to love and live in peace. She, like our protagonist are independent souls trying to make it in a male controlled society. While this sounds like a negative life circumstance, the daughter appreciates this since she is torn away from the toxic environment. He is unable to repay, so his daughter is taken into servitude as payment. Our second character is the daughter of a man who was lender money. In a way, we are seeing the world from the eyes of the protagonist, but we never really learn anything about who they are, and what they want.
From there, he more or less has her to continue doing this job while providing little insight to his world. The Staryk King challenges our protagonist to turn his silver to gold and in doing so takes her to be his wife. This is a race of people who live in the mountains and adore the cold. Needless to say his daughter grew up, learned the business and took matters into her own hand. Her father, a charitable man was becoming broke because he would not collect his debts. Our main protagonist, a modern re-telling of Rumpelstiltskin is the savior of a family of lenders. The third character is a queen who just happens to have some magical blood in her. The story is based upon the trials and tribulations of 3 women, our main protagonist is a woman who can convert gold to silver, one who was an apprentice of the main protagonist who’s major crime was being a woman in a male society and the daughter of a drunk/lowlife. Starting off a review by comparison titles is unfair, but I did not get the same feel with Spinning Silver as I did Uprooted. I understood who the enemies were, why the Dragon was the way we was and why our protagonist was special.
I thought that was a well written tale that fully pulled me into the world and explained the rules. Note: this would count as the cold/ice bingo square in hard mode and color. I’ll start by saying there are spoilers in this review as I expect that there may be some discussion on some of the questions I bring up.
