Two Hands, Wrapped in Gold

4 stars

This novelette by SB Divya is a retelling of Rumpelstiltskin with a side of King Midas. This was a lot of fun, and I particularly enjoyed the characters and worldbuilding.

One small note is that this got nominated for the 2023 Hugo Awards and they chose to withdraw it. There's also an interview with them in the same issue of Uncanny that this story was released in that talks a little bit more about this story.
