The Gilded Ones by Namina Forna
4.0

If you think you can guess where this fantasy book aimed at young adults with a teenaged girl protagonist learning about her special and unique powers which lead to her being ostracised from the place she used to call home is going to go.. you're probably not far off

That's not to say it wasn't an enjoyable book though - although I wasn't a fan of the romance, and some of the timeskips felt a little out of place




I buckle to the ground, suddenly too exhausted to remain standing any longer. The others do the same, but they're laughing and giggling as well, savouring the discovery they've just made, the joy they've just felt. The joy I'm still trying to forget.
