First thing I want to say is, before starting this series, please read trigger warnings, because there are some truly brutal scenes in this book.

That being said, I absolutely LOVED the first book in this series. Gild is everything I want in a fantasy book. A lot of fantasy with a dash of gore and spice.

Auren has a special place in my heart and I really feel for her. She is a great MC and very believable. Not too whiny, not too brutal, definitely has her flaws (impulsive is definitely one of them) and the fact she has to deal with so much backlash because she is different really makes her a lovable character.

The story itself is also so well written! I love this writing style! Everything is described in enough detail to form an idea, but not painstakingly much that it gets tedious and I definitely loved the Fire Claws, they really sounded freaking badass! The world building was also amazing.

All in all, I can't wait to continue reading this series! Thank you @ravenkennedybooks for writing this masterpiece ❤️
