detrebelle 's review for:

The Gilded Cage by Lynette Noni
3.5
medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Still fairly young adult. Continues to have too many modern phrases that take away from the fantasy. Same for dealing with addiction, depression etc reads as self help. Would’ve liked more world building and magic system building
