Spinning Silver

Naomi Noviks reimagining of Rumpelstiltskin is a masterclass in atmospheric storytelling. Set in a cold, folklore-inspired world, it follows three women whose lives become intertwined with the dangerous, icy Staryk king. The prose is sharp and evocative, capturing the chill of the winter setting and the high stakes of the bargains made. It is a standalone novel that feels like a classic fairy tale but with modern sensibilities and complex, strong female leads. It is a perfect choice for readers who enjoy folklore, wintery atmospheres, and stories about the power of cleverness and determination.
