The Golden Cage by Kaitlyn Davis

4.0

In ‘The Golden Cage’ we follow Princess Leena, one of the many princesses in the Ourthura realm. But Leena isn’t happy with her life as an princess. No, Leena hates her life at the in palace. The only light in her life full of darkness is Mikzahooq, a personal guard with the job to protect Leena. But no one knows Leena and Mikza are secret lovers, desperately looking for a way out of ‘The Golden Cage’.

Although this story is a prequel novella, and there for very short, I loved this story immediately. I’m a real sucker for forbidden love stories and this one pulled me in right from the start. In just a short time Kaitlyn Davis pulls you inside her story and makes you fall in love with the characters. I especially loved the main character Leena and the way she dealt with her life in ‘The Golden Cage’.

Even though there are many love stories out there, I still found this one very original. The tattoos and Leena’s swimming. I really loved it and I just couldn't put it down.

Lying with an cocktail in my hand on the beach, I can definitely conclude that this short novella is a great first book and a great start for beginning in ‘The Shadow Soul (A Dance of Dragons #1)’. I can’t wait to read that book.
