The Gilded Survivor by Daniela A. Mera
3.0
I received an ARC for an honest review of this book.
The blood magic was interesting and the tension between Carmen and Antonio was fun to read.
Carmen being pulled into the world of Elites and trying to navigate that while preparing for the Blood Tournament kept me reading.
However, it is in need of some editing. Some examples:
"If you really one to know, maybe I'll tell you the story one day".
"when faced with a life of death situation, human beings tended to choose self preservation over heroics".
Also, on one page a character that only knows Carmen by her fake name calls her "Carmen". At first I thought it was a plot point that this character figured out her real name. However, it's just an error that should be corrected.
The book ends with a cliffhanger and there was even a bit of a twist that I did not see coming.
Overall, it was an interesting story and even with all the grammatical errors, I would read book 2.
