“That tale did not sparkle,” said Gild, rocking back on his heels. “It was mostly gloom and death and darkness.”

Rating: 4.5/5.0
★★★★☆

Gilded was a beautifully woven tale, that was both whimsical and horrifying. It was fantastically fast-paced and the chapters were short to skim through. I don't know why many others haven't enjoyed it but I definitely devoured this masterpiece and can't wait until the sequel comes out.
