A review by librarianlizreads
Gilded by Marissa Meyer
4.0
Star Rating: 3.9*
Genre: Fantasy, Young Adult, Fairy tale retelling
Notable themes: Violence/gore, death/murder, sexual references, LGBTQ+, old world style gods
Romance Level: Kisses, depictions of desire, references to sex without graphic depictions.
My personal take: Well, this has been a hard one to wrap my mind around. I really like Guild as a character, and I think the dynamic of Serilda’s gift is very interesting. I enjoy the dynamic of the two as main characters, but I don’t feel like the progression was linear enough to make sense. I didn’t need a straight line, but how did you get from point A to point R?
I really like this story, but I’m still struggling with a couple of things that felt like plot holes to me. I look forward to seeing what happens in the sequel. I sincerely hope she can pull some things together for me.
