4.2 stars. Possibly my first fractionated rating because I just personally loved the story and was immersed in it, even if not perfect! Its merits definitely won over its minor flaws.

Written in first-person POV of 6 different characters, and there is no explicit indication who. Yet the tone of voice lets me catch it quickly. The strength of this book is definitely the women characters who were resilient and smart. The Rumpelstiltskin inspiration is there but very loosely inspired. It's a long book but it was interesting enough for me to carry on.

The flaws would be that the explanation on how some things worked in the world, or the strategies undertaken by the characters were explained in too cryptic a manner for myself to understand, so I just glossed over it.
