hanelaine 's review for:

The Gilded Crown by Marianne Gordon
3.0
dark mysterious slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: No

Pulled it back in the last quarter… book was very slow until the end and character growth took center stage. I was way more interested in death as a character and he/Hellevir’s dynamic than any other relationship in the book. It was hard to get behind Hellevir’s internal conflicts as the book continued and her motivations fell flat for me.
