Spinning Silver by Naomi Novik Book Summary

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • “One of the year’s strongest fantasy novels” (NPR), an imaginative retelling of the Rumpelstiltskin fairy tale from the bestselling author of Uprooted.

NEBULA AND HUGO AWARD FINALIST • NAMED ONE OF PASTE’S BEST FANTASY BOOKS OF THE DECADE • ONE OF THE TEN BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: The New York Public Library

With the Nebula Award–winning Uprooted, Naomi Novik opened a brilliant new chapter in an already acclaimed career, delving into the magic of fairy tales to craft a love story that was both timeless and utterly of the now. Spinning Silver draws readers deeper into this glittering realm of fantasy, where the boundary between wonder and terror is thinner than a breath, and safety can be stolen as quickly as a kiss.

Miryem is the daughter and granddaughter of moneylenders, but her father’s inability to collect his debts has left his family on the edge of poverty—until Miryem takes matters into her own hands. Hardening her heart, the young woman sets out to claim what is owed and soon gains a reputation for being able to turn silver into gold. When an ill-advised boast draws the attention of the king of the Staryk—grim fey creatures who seem more ice than flesh—Miryem’s fate, and that of two kingdoms, will be forever altered. She will face an impossible challenge and, along with two unlikely allies, uncover a secret that threatens to consume the lands of humans and Staryk alike.

ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: The New York Times Book Review, NPR, Time, Tordotcom, Popsugar, Vox, Vulture, Paste, Bustle, Library Journal

“A perfect tale . . . A big and meaty novel, rich in both ideas and people, with the vastness of Tolkien and the empathy and joy in daily life of Le Guin.”—The New York Times Book Review

“Gorgeous, complex, and magical . . . This is the kind of book that one might wish to inhabit forever.”—Publishers Weekly (starred review)

“Cool and clever and . . . dire and wonderful.”—Laini Taylor, author of Strange the Dreamer

“The Rumpelstiltskin fairy tale has never been as captivating. . . . Spinning Silver further cements [Novik’s] place as one of the genre greats.”—Paste

I couldn’t stop reading this.. This fantastic book came out three days ago and I wish I had read it slower to continue enjoying it but I couldn’t help myself. After reading Uprooted, I impatiently waited for this to be released and am glad I pre-ordered it so that when it was finally released I could devour it like the best morsel of food in the world. I’ve already gifted it to my sister and will be highly recommending it to everyone. Every page it felt climactic, I really enjoyed this style of storytelling and world building, it was so easy to slip into the lives and personalities of the characters and read just a few more pages past bed time to see what would happen next. Thank you Naomi for this amazing book.

Alright for sure. She’s honestly one of my favorite writers. Super compelling read but I really disliked being super confused about the POV switches, especially because you don’t know they switch until their name is mentioned lol. Eventually it’s gets easier to distinguish and then there’s another random POV added towards the end. But other than that, the story line was really well written. Loved Myrim

Longboard and drawn out. Decent story line, but lengthy for what is was; could have been condensed a bit more. many of the storylines within the book did not seem necessary and I could not get into them or really understand the relevance of having a few by the end of the book.

Pleasant but forgettable. A pleasant read, not too deep or complicated. No details or world building that ever fully immerse you, but enough to keep the story moving.

WOW…. That was so so wonderful. My new favorite author. These books are SO rich and wonderful. You really will want to root for these characters and learn a bit from them as well. Thank you!! My new favorite author.

Best Book I’ve Read In A Long Time. I’ve read all of Naomi Novik’s other books and loved them, this one I enjoyed as much or more than any of the others. What a wonderful fairytale with two strong, determined female characters, not really a romance at all but with a happy romantic ending. It gave me a warm feeling, it’s a great escape.

Old world fairytale for today’s world. Novik’s story glides so quickly and effortlessly it’s difficult to stop reading. Rereading added subtle details that further enriched the tale. The beautiful imagery of the fairytale is contrasted with reality’s perilous struggle for survival and how following your heart can lead to a better world.

Good read but too drawn out. I read this book on a whim and was pleased after reading it and finding that I really enjoyed it. After the first 1000 pages. The book just took long to get to the climax of the story. Added to this was the change of POV to minor characters which I found didn’t add much and took away from the affect of major scenes and I found myself skimming the book at times. Overall I would recommend reading this but do know that it is a long read and can drag at times.

AMAZING!!!!!!!!!. Such a captivating narrative that kept hooked from start to finished. Was reading this non-stop in allmy classes and could not sleep until i Finished it. Novik’s previous novel Uprooted had quite the same effect on me so I’ve been on the lookout for her work ever since.

It’s a great book… duh how could it not be!. Very good… duh! This was almost 3 stories in one! Quite a bargain tbh! Truely though if you enjoyed uprooted you won’t be disappointed! A bit on the PG side but I prefer that over stupid corny over the top porn myself!!!!!

Amazing!. This was an absolutely mesmerizing read! I loved every single word! Beyond amazing! I’m super sad it’s over :(

Fun Fantasy. This book does a great job developing the characters and getting you invested in the plot. It had a few twists and turns that P just turning yeah wasn’t that difficult to follow. I enjoyed it

Phenomenal ❣️. I would recommend this beautifully written novel to everyone; by far one of the best I’ve read in a long time.

Good but felt unfinished. I liked a fantasy without sex scenes. It was immersive and a quick read but I was left with wondering what happened with the Tsar….

Fabulous.. I have been non stop reading this book, wanting to see what happens next. Strong female characters, witty & multifaceted.......highly recommend!!!!

Wow and wow, not enough wow to hold the wow!. Such an incredible fairytale! Absolutely read and fall in love with the spunky heroine!

Awesome, awesome book!!!!. Can’t even begin to describe how great this book is. So much fun to read and such a new and unusual story! Read it as soon as you can!!!

Great read. Truly enjoyed it. Lots of different plot lines to follow and different characters. Definitely some unexpected twists and turns I enjoyed.

Spinning Silver. Excellent read. Very difficult to put down. Naomi Novik has written another best seller with suspense, action and a little romance.

Simply Amazing. Like Uprooted, I devoured this book. Naomi Novik has the ability to conjure wonderful stories full of deep feelings despite a simple brilliant flow of writing. Excellent book to read over and over!

The writing here is just delicious.. I don’t know of a better way to put it. There is no way to properly praise this book without spoilering it. I’ll just say that each of the characters is vivid and alive and human. The relationships are complex and beautifully drawn. The story is engaging. I was happily in tears at the end. Can’t recommend this enough.

Five stars. This is one of my favorite books

Naomi’s Masterpiece. Probably my favorite book of all time. Possesses the haunting and fascinating quality inherent to dark fairy tales paired with the wonderful prose found in Naomi Novik’s work. Truly a perfect combination

Captivating. I’ve read this book several times now over the years, and am equally enthralled all over again, each time I pick it up. It is truly magical, well-written, with strong female protagonists. Highly recommended for lovers of fantasy, folktales and surrealist fiction.

Best book of the year.. Loved every. Single. Thing. I give it all the stars in the sky. Read it or miss out.

LOVED IT. ❤️
