The Gilded Ones by Namina Forna
3.0

This is such a great story. A fantasy novel about a girl who grows up in an extremely patriarchal society where girls are deemed unnatural if they have gilded blood. Those with gilded blood are told they are demons and made to fight against monsters to help save the country.

The only reason I have given it 3 stars is because I found the writing a little simple and I wanted more, however I'm aware it is a YA novel and therefore it is correct for its target audience and I'm sure would have been a 5 out of 5 for the right audience.
