The Gilded Ones by Namina Forna

adventurous emotional medium-paced

5.0

I really enjoyed reading this book. Deka is definitely one of my fav characters in the book. If you have read Children of Blood and Bone you might like this one. They aren’t similar stories, but they are both African Fantasy though. The way the girls get treated in this book was horrible, but unfortunately it’s something that happens so often to girls and women. Even though this is a YA fantasy, there are plenty of lessons to be learned from this story as an adult reader for sure. This held my attention and it was always hard to put this book down.
