Gild

This is an interesting story but be wary of the content. Read trigger warnings because it is not easy to read if you are too sensitive about female rights and harassment.

This book is quite slow and dealt with a lot of Auren's (FMC) inner thoughts. But I understand that as the pilot book, the author is still building the world in our minds and introducing us to the characters. I just didn't like that the Auren was like a damsel in distress here but I hope her character grows more in the coming books. She did grow balls over the last few chapters, but I hope there's more.

In my opinion, it was written beautifully. It was not as simple or as crude as some of the dark romance books I've read, to the point that the spicy scenes were already cringey. Raven Kennedy wrote this book in a way that balances elegance and spice.

Will start reading Glint now!
