The Gilded Ones by Namina Forna Book Summary

INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY TEEN VOGUE
 
"A dark feminist tale spun with blood and gold. Must read!" –Dhonielle Clayton, New York Times bestselling author of The Belles
 
Sixteen-year-old Deka lives in fear and anticipation of the blood ceremony that will determine whether she will become a member of her village. Already different from everyone else because of her unnatural intuition, Deka prays for red blood so she can finally feel like she belongs.

But on the day of the ceremony, her blood runs gold, the color of impurity–and Deka knows she will face a consequence worse than death.

Then a mysterious woman comes to her with a choice: stay in the village and submit to her fate, or leave to fight for the emperor in an army of girls just like her. They are called alaki–near-immortals with rare gifts. And they are the only ones who can stop the empire's greatest threat.

Knowing the dangers that lie ahead yet yearning for acceptance, Deka decides to leave the only life she's ever known. But as she journeys to the capital to train for the biggest battle of her life, she will discover that the great walled city holds many surprises. Nothing and no one are quite what they seem to be–not even Deka herself.

The start of a bold and immersive fantasy series for fans of Children of Blood and Bone and Black Panther.

Comfortable Read. A very interesting plot, and something that catch’s the reader’s attention from the first few pages. The ending get a bit crazy with the twists and reveals, however overall I enjoyed the book and binged within a week. I will be picking up the second one!

Page Turner. Not a book I would normally select but so glad Literati exposed me to it. This is by far one of the best books I have read all year. Highly recommend it and hoping for a sequel.

Interesting story but writing could be improved. Good and original story line. Kept my interest throughout. I did feel like there was a lot of unnecessary and not useful text. Like it was a paper that a high schooler was trying to make longer to fill a word count quota and the text didn’t really give any more description or develop emotions further. I skipped forward a few paragraphs multiple times because I felt that certain parts were being dragged out and went back to read the things I had skipped I felt like they really weren’t useful to character or scene development.

Thrilling. I could not put the book down. This is absolutely refreshing. I do hope the story continues.

Amazing. This book was nothing short of amazing! It is definitely among one of the greats in my personal opinion! ♥️✌🏽

I finished a third of the book and quit it.. It could have been a good story, but the writing was tiresome to me. The main character was way to “emotional”, or she over-reacted. It was like the author was trying to artificially build intensity by having the main character be SO (fill in the blank) when the situation really didn’t call for it. I finally couldn’t take it anymore and quit the book. It was simple and seemed to be written for a younger audience.

Amazing. I am so blown away by this story. I love all the world-building, lore and characters in it. The twists and action are all impressive. Thank you for bringing such an amazing tale to life.

Wow!!. When I say this book is just amazing… so many twist and turns and things you wouldn’t even expect. It’s crazy awesome and I’ll definitely be getting the second one

Slow Start. Started off a little bit too slow for me to comprehend what was going on, but once I kept reading it got better over time.
