The Gilded Ones by Namina Forna

5.0

"I neither fear little girls, nor need shackles to chain them."

This book is everything I've ever wanted in a feminist fantasy novel. Reading this book empowered me. This book is about taking your power back and claiming it for your own. The characters jump off of the page and straight into your heart. I can't believe I lived for 23 years without having read this novel.
