antimonium 's review for:

The Gilded Girl by Alyssa Colman
3.0
slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

The first half of the book is wasted on establishing the Little Princess plot. If it had been called a retelling, fine, but it was obviously and wasted too much time. The last third was good and unique about kindling magic. More of that would have made it a better read.
