I would like to thank Shepard DiStasio for providing me with an ARC of Veil Us In Gold. This is going to be a spoiler-free review until June 22nd when the book officially comes out.
Veil Us In Gold follows Drake as they navigate the secrets and mysteries in Tārāmen which has much hidden from our main character as they work for the royal family. Tārāmen isn't the only thing that harbors secrets; Drake must work to ensure that their secrets stay buried, for better or for worse.
I also loved Drake's character so so much and can I just say this book had me on the edge of my seat needing more and more until the very last page. Can I also just take a minute to point out the writing in this book?! It is so beautiful and the descriptions of everything in the world are just *chef's kiss* I loved it. There is also a substantial amount of world-building in this, which can be found in any fantasy book, but in VUIG, it isn't given in an overbearing way and instead creates the perfect balance.
Currently (impatiently) waiting for the next book to come out. I'm so excited about it.
