Spinning Silver
by Naomi Novik
Our rating
Spice: none. Darkness: dark.
Miryem, a moneylender's daughter, brags that she can turn silver into gold, and the ice king of the Staryk hears her. Rumpelstiltskin by way of Jewish folklore and a fire demon. Several narrators, and some readers wish there were fewer.
