Somehow I always get behind on this. Anyhow, I finished A Curse Dark as Gold by Elizabeth C. Bunce the other day. I'm a little late on getting to this one, but it was worth the wait! Very good book! I love the story of Rumpelstiltskin being retold, and the characters were great. Charlotte, the main character, was very believable--to the point that I wanted to grab her by the shoulders and shake her a few times :)
My only quibble is that toward the middle, it seemed to lose momentum. It's not like it had a lot of fluff, but I felt like it was just plodding along, and not being propelled through the intense situations going on. Maybe this is just me, but that was a little bit of a struggle.
Favorite line? (Or, at least one of them) "Great dark clouds gathered over the river, and I knew them for what they were: The End, poised to unleash some terrible wrath and sweep us all right out of the valley."
