The Gilded Ones

The plot for this book was fantastic. I really enjoyed the core moments and reveals and it (selfishly) upsets me that I will never get to experience this plot as an adult fantasy because I loved it so much and YA is just not my favourite genre.

It does however make me very excited to see what else Namina Forna will come out with. Once the writing style develops and Namina trusts their audience a little more to draw their own conclusions rather than spelling out every thought and discovery (often quite a while after it becomes very obvious to the reader) I think we will see some truly fantastic work being produced. I can't wait to watch Namina's journey and I'll definitely be continuing with this series.
