The Gilded Cage by Lynette Noni
4.0
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

The way I managed to give this book 4 stars is beyond me. If I had to describe this book in one word it would be Ragebait. I saw a review of someone saying that they predicted everything and the only person who couldn’t see anything coming was Kiva, that basically summarizes the plot of this book. 

It was almost like Kiva managed to lose her mind, and all her brain cells shriveled up and died between this the book and the previous one. Not a single decision Kiva made was well thought out and everything she did contradicted her character in the first book. 

Overall, reading this book had me so mad that I wanted to stab my eyes out half the time and jump through the pages to strangle the characters the other half. However, I am a mood reader and apparently someone who enjoys having high blood pressure because I had more fun reading this book than the first one. I just wish the author had made the characters a little less idiotic.
