Avrye | 2 comments I don't remember any of the characters name, I do remember that the characters were based off of the grimms brothers fairytale. The book started by brining up the fact that there are people who had curses that could get fixed and there were people who gave curses. I don't remember what kind of curse our main character had at the start of the book but by the end we find out her story is based off of Rumpelstiltskin. She had a few friends but out of all the side cast the two I remember the most is based off of the story of the 6 swans, where all her brothers gets turned into swans, and she has to make them magic shirts and she isn't allowed to talk (Im not 100% sure but she may have sewn her mouth shut in the book) Another one of her friends was based off of the 12 dancing girls story (I think she was friends with either 1 or 2 of the girls tho) There were other curses that were talked about in the story, like the sleeping beauty and snow white curse, but i don't remember them that well (I don't think they were apart of the main cast). The 12 dancing girls story had a spin on it though were the girls would dance in like an underworld club . The underworld was ruled by a king and all his sons would dance with the princesses, all but 1, who ended up hitting on the MC (main character)
(view spoiler)
There are somethings that I'm somewhat iffy on and not completely sure if I got it right, so i'm going to put it down here
I kinda remember the MC and her close friend talking crap about sleeping beauty , something along the lines of "She's marrying a guy that kissed her in her sleep!!! How creepy is that", "Im glad my curse isn't something like that!" This isn't word for word but it is how the conversation kinda went.
While i dont remeber the girls name for sure, I think when it was shortened down to the nickname it sounded kinda boyish, and that's why she didn't like it?

Update: I was trying to think of a few names that could be shared between the MC and the Troll. A few that could be possiblities
Vivian - trolls name being viv or ian (I think this may be the cloest)
Katherne - trolls name being Kat

Avrye | 2 comments None of the stories match up, i dont think the book was based off the rumpelstiltskin story until way later, thank you though it was a great suggestion
