Even though she's treated like a cursed outcast by most of her village, she's someone who looks past it and cherishes her relationship with children in the village and her father. Serilda's god-given gift for storytelling and lies gets her into trouble but it also keeps her alive and keeps her searching for the truth through story. A straight couple has sex, with little described beyond kissing, some light groping, and undressing. Sexual content is slightly more mature in Gilded as well. There's much talk of parent loss as well, and wonder if parents are truly gone or can be found. Magical animals are also captured with mentions that they are tortured. An undead creature gnaws at his own arm and attacks its live family, a hell hound gets an arrow shot through its eye, a ghost's head rolls off its body, and more. The main character, Serilda, cavorts with a whole world of the cruel undead led by the Erlking who kidnap young children and rip out their hearts.
Expect more gory violence in this story than in Meyer's past books.
Parents need to know that Gilded is a bold reimagining of the fairy tale "Rumpelstiltskin" from Marissa Meyer, the popular author of the Lunar Chronicles series and Heartless.
