"The ending will leave you reeling! I can't wait until The Gilded Cage is released in October. I want it NOW!"

"Pretty interesting book but it feels like multiple books in one like it's unique but also not it reminds me of different aspects of different books. And that ending kiva is just hypocritical. But all in all I would recommend it"

"Wow what a turn in events. I’m shocked. And i loved this. I thought i was going to hate it. I’m glad i hung in there "

"I got kinda bored and I couldn’t finish it"

"At first I didn’t like the book because of how slow everything felt. There didn’t seem to be much of a plot. Kind of like it was a slice of life book? But gosh I liked the ending a lot. The last 5 chapters kind of made up for everything else. The only thing that kind of stuck out was how LITERAL LAST TWO SENTENCES went against everything we knew about the main character before. I feel like the author decided last minute to add it in and was like WELP. That should do! But I’ll update this once I’ve read the next book.
Edit: Started the second book. It entirely hinges upon what I discovered in the last 2 sentences of the first book. Author must’ve decided to turn it into a series last-minute?"
