The Gilded Crown by Marianne Gordon
4.0
What would you give to bring someone back to life? What if the cost was a part of you? How much or yourself would you be willing to give before enough is enough?
The Gilded Crown is a wonderfully written tale of a young woman with amazing powers to communicate with Death, and to bring people back to life. Family, acquaintances, and the heir to the throne are all part of the desires, but not all souls cost the same price.
While I felt some parts of the story dragged on, overall, I enjoyed this book, both for its characters, and the storyline. It was interesting to see the intertwining of multiple religions, politics, love, and belief in oneself. I'm interested to see what future books will unveil.
