Quick read. Really wasn’t sure about the gilded woman with prehensile ribbons coming out of her back but definitely an intriguing story and I will continue. 

Check trigger warnings for sure; it’s very dark.

This is the second time I am reading the Plated Prisoner series (in time for the release of Goldfinch later this year 🫣🫣🫣) and I still really love the start to Auren's story. Knowing how things will progress made some parts even more heartbreaking

I am still crying over Sail's death and Rissa being raped 😞

I absolutely love how Auren is already starting to grow by the end of Gild and I am so glad to follow her along once again 💛

So I went into this book with no knowledge of what it was about or what would happen. I have been hearing great things about this book for a while now but nothing could have prepared me for how amazing this was. Personally, it's not like anything I've ever read before. And as soon as this review is posted I'm going to start Glint. I 100,000% recommend this book. I can't wait to see where this goes. I'm honestly so shocked and I have so many questions. This book evoked so many emotions. I was and still very angry at a lot of the characters for the cruel ways they treated Auren and other saddles. I cried and laughed. (Also I want to say that I don't think that this book is a sure way to make you cry or anything. I tend to be an emotional reader. However, I do think that even if you aren't as much of an emotional  reader as me this book will still bring forth the strong emotions.) So stop reading reviews and READ THIS!
