The Gilded Ones by Namina Forna
4.25
“Never forget: the same gift they praise you for now, they will kill you for later.”
Quick Summary
Deka preys for red blood, to be pure. But on the day of the ceremony, an attack shows she has the cursed blood. Abandoned by everyone she ever loved and a victim of the death mandate, Deka is left helpless. Until a strange person showed up and gives her a choice.
Final Thoughts
I. LOVED. THIS.
HOWEVER I found the writing at the beginning almost too simple, but I suppose it's because I'm an adult reading a YA novel. The novel did evolve throughout and I was so engrossed and invested in the story and the characters. Cannot wait to get my hands on book 2.
