You've heard me talk about my love for Spinning Silver before, but now I get to talk in depth about this absolute gem of a novel by Naomi Novik. Spinning Silver is a loose retelling of Rumpelstiltskin set in a fantasy world. It follows Miryem as she is tasked with turning silver to gold for a Staryk lord, who is a dangerous ice fae. I question exactly what the rules governing the Staryk people are, explain the importance Miryem's Jewish faith plays in the story, and discuss the great character development throughout.
