I found this book to have a much better pay off and was more fast paced while still remaining readable.
My main issue is the height of the drama happens very late into the book and I feel as though it spends a lot of time explaining unimportant aspects and then doesn't let the dust settle later in the story.

I got pretty tired of Serilda yelling ,"Wait! Stop! " How many times was the Erlking going to fall for that? I was also a bit disappointed that he wasn't redeemed. I was kind of rooting for him, but that's probably a toxic trait of mine.

Erlen was amazing tho and she made it more enjoyable.
Marissa Meyer had to fill in a nine month gap, because the original story doesnt tell about that time. But her version sadly did not satisfy me.
If she didnt do the plottwist at the end of book 1, gilded could be a standalone novel. It didnt work as a duology for me because I feel like I didnt get to know the characters better...
I was in a fantasy mood, but this book did not quench my thirst. And I'm so sad about it because I love Marissa's other books!
I hope you loved this story more than I did <3
