Hey there, writers!
In this minisode, Karissa breaks down popular duology Gilded by Myrissa Meyer, master of the YA fantasy genre and fairytale retellings in particular. Not only does this book carry the same tone and craft as Meyer's famous Lunar Chronicles books, but it delves into somewhat lesser-known fairytales for a refreshing spin on what has become a beloved genre. Rife with danger, ill-fated love, and impossible ultimatums (including spinning straw into gold), this duology promises a classic, high-stakes fantasy with an originality that only Meyer brings to the table.
Join Karissa as she analyzes Gilded the duology, offering a review of what does and doesn't work from a writer's perspective!
Keep writing, everyone, and we'll see you on the next page...
