The Princess Pact: a Twist on Rumpelstiltskin

The familiar fairy tale elements are reimagined in such a unique way. I'm curious if the author drew from traditional versions or crafted this new perspective from scratch.

The story seemed to focus heavily on their trust and alliance, which was a refreshing take. Did others see the same emphasis on friendship over romantic interests?

The story plays with the idea of secrets and honesty — do you think this message feels relevant and impactful for a modern YA audience?
