Hey Everyone,
I am going to review the book "The Gilded Cage," by Vic James. This book is hot off the press being published today February 14, 2017 by Random House Publishing Group: Ballantine. This is the author Vic James debut novel. It is the first book of a three book series, "The Dark Gifts Series." Keep an eye out for the second book coming out this July 2017. For those of you who would like to purchase a copy of this book CLICK HERE.
Overall I rated this book three out of five stars. This book is a dystopian novel. It is set in a world where there are those of us who are lucky and are born skilled, meaning are born with magical powers. For all the rest of us commoners those of us who are born with no magic skills at all, are forced to be slaves for ten years working under those who have skill or magical powers. This book tells the story of one family who gets themselves involved with a powerful skilled family and are forced to make difficult choices in order to keep their family together. The premise of this book had a lot of potential, but reading this book felt disjointed and disconnected. This book did not flow well. The characters were on the unlikable side and because of this it made it more difficult to enjoy this book more than I did. I really wanted to and I had high expectations before reading it. I really hope the next two books in this series make up for this one.
I want to thank Netgalley, Vic James, and Random House Publishing Group: Ballantine for giving me the opportunity to read this book in exchange for an honest review.
Until the next page,
Jill
