Gild is a retelling of Midas, and I'm loving it. 

Raven Kennedy is a phenomenal author who really understands how to hook the reader and pull them in. Her worldbuilding and character development really puts me there in the world of Oren, where women are treated as mere playthings and men suck up all the power. 

 

The settings are detailed and vibrant, and I feel Auren's pain as she lies to herself and begins to see the world, King Midas, and her pretty cage are not what they appear.

This is a slow-burn, dark romantasy with mature themes and circumstances.
