The Gilded Cage

Lynette Noni is the queen of cliffhangers and she knows it based off her acknowledgements! After reading The Prison Healer, I had to get my hands on the second book and was super excited when I was given the ARC for The Gilded Cage by NetGalley.

The second book is a bit slower than the first but you learn a lot about Kiva and her family, the royal family she is staying with and also what it would take for her family to take over the throne. I was so interested in how Kiva was going to go about betraying the royal family for her own. At the end of The Prison Healer, it really seemed like Kiva was dead set on her goals. This book wasn't as action packed as the first but it was still super enjoyable to read. I enjoyed reading about Kiva and her back and forth pull with her conscience. There were so many times where I wasn't sure if she was lying to herself or the readers. The friendships with each member of the royal family were fun to read about, especially Caldon. I think he has become my favorite character in the series now.

I'm really excited for the third book and I cannot wait to read it! This series is becoming one of my favorites. I know Lynette Noni will not disappoint when the time comes for me to read it. I am honestly worried about reading it and how she will end it! This series is full of betrayal.
