![]() ![]() I’ve seen a lot of reviews that said she was annoyingly weak, but when you consider the fact that she is clearly dealing with Stockholm Syndrome, I think her characterization is very realistic. The book does explore some tough subjects, especially with everything Auren went through in her past and goes through during the course of the book. ![]() There is a good balance of explanation of the world and plot, and the world-building is spread throughout so there aren’t large chunks of info-dumping. ![]() It’s a lot more modern than I expect fantasy to be, and there are some truly beautiful lines. Gild was slow in the beginning, and I thought about DNFing it a few times before the first big plot point/twist, but once I got past it, the plot really started to pick up, and I was hooked. She starts to realize that a cage is still a cage, even if it’s a beautiful one, and everything she thought she knew about Midas is wrong. However, when war comes to the kingdom, her entire existence is challenged. He rescued her from a horrible life and placed her on a pedestal, and she gave him her love and trust. ![]() The golden cage protects her though, just like Midas. I’ve been trying to get more into fantasy romance, and Gild was a fantastic way for me to break into the genre.Īuren is gold-touched-the favored saddle of King Midas gilded to be the same gold that runs through his castle and makes up the cage she spends her days in. ![]()
