And let’s just say that Deka grasps that eventually… (No spoilers, remember?) You have to accept yourself first, in order to find a way to project to the others the true you. (Of course, she is!) The acceptance of who you are, comes from within. And Deka, gets to realize this the hard way. Sometimes, what you don’t see, doesn’t mean that it doesn’t exist. In this second installment, we see the other side of the coin. But, as in every movement, things might become…less manageable. These two books, are without a doubt the representation of feminism, at least to me. I know how difficult is to live in a world that doesn’t accept.” I don’t know, I just love this found family trope that it’s all over the place. They fear, they fall in love, they hurt, they cry, they laugh. Oohh… I forgot Ixa! I do love him.Īll the characters are so well written, and they progress, they mature in front of your eyes.
As I do not want to spill the beans, (I hate spoilers), let’s play it safe and just say that you do meet your favorite characters: Britta, Deka, Keita, Belcalis, Asha, Adwapa, and so many more. The sequel to The Gilded Ones by Namina Forna, was one book I was really looking forward to read, and oh boy, did I enjoy this emotional ride. It’s alright to cry Deka… It doesn’t make you any less warrior to weep…” This does not affect our opinion of the book or the content of this review.We'd like to thank the publishers and Netgalley, TBR&Beyond for the review copy.
