Just in case the cover didn't massively establish this beforehand... this book is colorful. I don't mean that just because the protagonist is an artist and the other world she steps into is an occipital lobe overheating madness. Once you're done processing the beautiful and mind-boggling landscapes and creatures, you have to deal with characters who are just as vibrant.
If there's one thing you can say about this author is her talent to create very distinct personalities. The voices of her characters are unmistakable and the story is fast-paced thanks to the endless banter between Talia and Zain, Talia and her mom, Talia and Biscuit, Talia and every-other-magical-creature-she-meets.
I've read nothing but praise for this series and I can totally understand the appeal now. Do beware, reading Gilded Blood comes with sensory overload (I swear I can hear Talia's mom's voice in my head!)
100% recommend it to indoor adrenaline junkies.
