 The Gilded Ones is a fantastic read that excels in both world-building and character development. If you're in the mood for a thrilling fantasy adventure with a strong protagonist and a richly crafted magical world, look no further.

I have to commend the exceptional world-building and magic system in this book. It's truly remarkable how the author gradually builds and reveals the intricacies of the world and its magic alongside the main character - it's perfection.

I thoroughly enjoyed the protagonist's journey and character development. It's a gradual and complex process, which only serves to make her more relatable and engaging. As she navigates through challenges and discoveries, we're right there with her, rooting for her every step of the way.

I really enjoyed this one and can’t wait to get stuck into the next book in the series.
