There was a lot of telling not showing, and I honestly didn’t even like Auren all that much until it got closer to the end. This book would have been better served if it had cut down on some of the backstories. This is not the story of Auren and Midas, so I was a little disappointed that so much time was spent on that, especially when they really didn’t have many scenes together. You learn the background of the six kingdoms and the main character, but it was clear to me early on that something else was going to happen. It was basically all set up, and it wasn’t until the end, like the last five chapters end that the story started to get going. I have heard mixed reviews of Gild, and now I understand why. But the monsters on the other side might make me wish I’d never left. And I realize that everything I thought I knew about Midas might be wrong.īecause these bars I’m kept in, no matter how gilded, are still just a cage. Until war comes to the kingdom and a deal is struck. And even though I don’t leave the confines of the palace, I’m safe. He gave me protection, and I gave him my heart. I’m the woman he Gold-Touched to show everyone that I belong to him. Dug me out of the slums and placed me on a pedestal. In Highbell, in the castle built into the frozen mountains, everything is made of gold. Gold floors, gold walls, gold furniture, gold clothes.
