The Gilded Ones by Namina Forna
3.0

DNF’d, but not of my own volition I swear! Life got busy and my rented copy timed out. Or at least, it got to a point where I knew I wouldn’t finish it… I love the world on a visual level, it’s clearly got depth, but the exposition and pacing kinda threw me off. and it has… shudder… phonetic accents. which I’ve always had trouble reading, haha. again, love the world at least on the surface, but when it comes to the meat it didn’t leap out at me :( I might try it again sometime, and I mean hey, it’s not bad for a debut!
