flotrenza 's review for:
The Gilded Ones
by Namina Forna
THIS. BOOK.
Was freaking incredible.
I was already excited about this because the cover is flipping stunning. It was supposed to be released last year so I was ready for it to rock my life but the release date was delayed.
That was fine by me, I was lucky enough to get an eARC via Netgalley and omfg. I cannot stress how much I loved this book.
Namina is that B*TCH. She did not come to play.
Alright, so we’re in this mythical world where at 16, all girls have to go through this ‘ceremony’ in order to deem them pure. You’re only pure if your blood runs red, if it runs gold, you are an unnatural demon.
Deka, our main character’s, blood runs gold on the day of the ceremony, and here starts the most intriguing and captivating story of survival, magic and female badassery.
I’m in love with Deka, I’m in love with this book! I adore the fact that the romance was not the main part of this story, and how sisterhood reigns.
I just can’t even begin to describe how this book doesn’t shy away from the dark parts, it’s grim in some ways and the magic is phenomenal.
I have a crush on “the mysterious woman” and that’s all I’m going to say about that.
