"The ending will leave you reeling! I can't wait until The Gilded Cage is released in October. I want it NOW!"

"Pretty interesting book but it feels like multiple books in one like it's unique but also not it reminds me of different aspects of different books. And that ending kiva is just hypocritical. But all in all I would recommend it"

"I got kinda bored and I couldn’t finish it"

"At first I didn’t like the book because of how slow everything felt. There didn’t seem to be much of a plot. Kind of like it was a slice of life book? But gosh I liked the ending a lot. The last 5 chapters kind of made up for everything else. The only thing that kind of stuck out was how LITERAL LAST TWO SENTENCES went against everything we knew about the main character before. I feel like the author decided last minute to add it in and was like WELP. That should do! But I’ll update this once I’ve read the next book.
Edit: Started the second book. It entirely hinges upon what I discovered in the last 2 sentences of the first book. Author must’ve decided to turn it into a series last-minute?"

"Absolutely loved this book! The ending left me speechless and staring at a wall. I did not see that twist coming at all I was absolutely shocked."

"Addicting & I was surprised by a twist at the end"

"I really enjoyed the plot. It flowed very well and kept me on my toes without being confusing. I gave it 4 stars because the ending was a little too out of nowhere. It was CRAZY, and I had a hard time believing that was the actual ending when I reached the last page. I will be reading the next book though, hoping this will be resolved/make more sense."
