Gilded Cage is a bit like Animal Farm with magic. It's told from the perspective of seven characters, and set in an alternate Britain where the ruling class are called Equals and have magical powers, while the non-magical populous must submit to a decade of slavery. It's the first book in a series...
Luke is a prisoner, about to go to the house of a man who has broken others. The Jardines are consolidating power in England and Abi is a fugitive. Things that happen are complicated and set the last book up quite well, I really want to know what is going on and how everything is going to resolve it...
I received a copy from Netgalley. Another one for the DNF pile. I couldn't get into this one. The society baffled me. I can't get my head around the concept. It was weird and annoying. In this British novel society is still split by huge class divisions. The elite aristocrats at the top run everythi...
First I would say thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for giving me a chance to read this book. And I would also say that I am the one that asked for a chance to read this book. And my opinions are my very own. While I didn't fall in love with this book, I didn't hate it either. My favorite parts ...

Trigger Warning: “Slave Days”, Violence, Mindfucking, Pyscho White People, Torture, Naked Guy Trained as a Dog + Kept On A Leash, (but there’s only light kissing so prudes don’t worry!!)What can I say? Don’t read this. Don’t get sucked into another fantasyland with an allegory for racism and literal...
Imagine a world where magic exists and England's power structure is around powerful nobles with magical power. They ruthlessly crush all opposition and all non-powered have to do 10 years service to the powerful as slaves, they regard them as negligible and without power you have nothing really, yo...
Powerful super humans The Equals, controlling lesser humans through slavery and special abilities. There were several things I enjoyed. The plot was really interesting, trying to figure out who was behind what was a complete mystery. The ending left no clues about who was on what side, a cliffhanger...
It took me a bit to get into this novel but once I did, I really enjoyed it. I was getting lost in all the different names that kept being thrown at me and I had a hard time moving between the two different stories as they shifted between the characters but eventually the novel started to take shape...
