This was a wonderful Retelling of Rumpelstiltskin with lots of wonderful characters and it also does a great job of bringing the fall season into the story. I have loved every fairy tale retelling by Abigail Manning that I have read so far and this one met my high expectations as well. Charlotte's cat Gourd was a fun sidekick and I really enjoyed the way things developed between Charlotte & Crow. The epilogue was a fun way of tying things up. I look forward to reading more from this multi author series as well as many more of Abigail Manning's retellings.
