Will dark magic claim their home?
Miryem is the daughter and granddaughter of moneylenders, but her father’s too kind-hearted to collect his debts. They face poverty, until Miryem hardens her own heart and takes up his work in their village. Her success creates rumours she can turn silver into gold, which attract the fairy king of winter himself. He sets her an impossible challenge – and if she fails, she’ll die. Yet if she triumphs, it may mean a fate worse than death. And in her desperate efforts to succeed, Miryem unwittingly spins a web which draws in the unhappy daughter of a lord.
Irina’s father schemes to wed her to the tsar – he will pay any price to achieve this goal. However, the dashing tsar is not what he seems. And the secret he hides threatens to consume the lands of mortals and winter alike. Torn between deadly choices, Miryem and Irina embark on a quest that will take them to the limits of sacrifice, power and love.
As with her standalone novel Uprooted, Naomi Novik has once again been influenced by classic folktales. Taking Rumpelstiltskin as her starting point, Spinning Silver is a rich, multilayered new story which is a joy to read.

On the Audio verson: the narrator uses the absolutely same voice when narrating the 3 main women characters, which makes thing confusing.

I had no trouble following the story, despite the voices of the different girls being similar (but not the same) because they were written distinctly different from one another. The story is magical and the characters are very lovable. I love Novik's work, the reading voice was very pleasant to listen to. Awesome experience overall!

I love the world that author creates in her novels. Sometimes they could be a little too stretched out. That's why I take one star.The reading was good, but unfortunately nothing marks the different characters narrative and it is confusing especially in the beginning. So I took one star for this too.
