Recommendation : If you enjoy Steampunk with a sassy heroine who fights crime than give this one a try.

Gilded is the second book in the St. Croix Chronicles by Karina Cooper. Steampunk is this series’ beautiful home and that in and of itself makes me happy. I adore Steampunk and hot men and this series has both! Before I expound upon this amazing book I must emphasize that if you have not read Tarnished, you must. I will say it didn’t rate as well as this book, but you need it to set the stage....more

Rounding up because while Gilded still has some of the issues I complained about in Tarnished THE ENDING (!!) just about made me scream!! Our dear Miss St. Croix is at quite a crossroads as this story ends and I literally have no idea what direction she will go and how it will all shake out. Where is book 3?! I don't even see mention of it and that makes me sad!

Cherry St. Croix is a society lady by day, but at night she is a collector. A collector is something like a bounty hunter who flies under the radar, or in this case below the drift. There is a kind of fog that surrounds most of London. Most of society lives above it for the most part. Cherry is invited to a luncheon and given a mystery that leads her to a dead college professor. As she is piecing together the mystery and Earl decides to court her.

Gilded is the second book of Karina Cooper’s The St. Croix Chronicles. It took me a little while to get used to the tone of the novel. Cherry starts out in her collector disguise, and then moved to her getting home. I was thrown by it, not only because of the double lives, but because she seemed to self-aware and independent on the street and the complete opposite at home. I didn’t read the first book, Tarnished. It did fill in some of the background that happened in the first book, but some parts were a little confusing. In other words, it’s best to start with book one.

My favorite thing about this book, other than the jaw dropping ending, is that I had no idea how versatile Cooper is. The tone of the novel is completely different from anything I have ever read by her. I thought when I opened the book it would remind me of her Paranormal series, but it didn’t. Instead it surprised me.

Let’s be honest, history wasn’t that great to women. Steam Punk has a funny nature about carrying over some of the things I don’t like about the Victorian age. All those manners, all those rules give me the shivers. Cherry would agree with me, the difference is she has to live it. The problem here though is that while she is a no fear kind of girl, she does fear the social elite. This kept me at a distance from her. So much of her claims not to care, but in that she is very dishonest, she does care or it wouldn’t give her fits.

I haven’t gone hardcore into the plot, and that’s because it’s hard without being spoilerish. I have said there is a mystery, and who is dead, but there is a lot more going on. She is being pursued for her hand by an Earl, who isn’t bad looking. This rivaled for my attention when it came down to it. This isn’t something that takes a back seat in the plot. Everything is connected in some way, but the main mystery opens doors to bigger ones like her family’s past. Even the Earl’s family provides little hidden details into what, or who her parents were as people. There are some serious secrets playing in the background of the overall plot line.

I mentioned the jaw dropping ending. Actually, the very end wasn’t so jaw dropping, but the space right before it. Gilded took me by surprise. It wasn’t something I expected, and it has a lot more flavor than other Steam Punk novels out there. The main character isn’t my favorite. I felt distant from Cherry and her ever wandering mind. The dead professor mystery seemed a little bland, and not for me. On the other hand a glimpse at the bigger picture going on behind the actually story held my interest. I often say, ‘yea, that novel didn’t go far enough.’ That’s not true here. I was pleasantly surprised by how far it went.

4.5/5
The ending in this book is such a shocker, ladies and gents! I wanted to scream with frustration!!! Miss Cooper doesn't end her books with a cliffhanger per se, but she definitely knows how to end a book with a bang.

There is more darkness and desperation in Cherry this time. She feels trapped. By her debt to Karakash Veil, by the societal obligations and by her worsening addiction to opium. It's hard and painful to read about her horrible descent into abyss, but it's necessary too.

So the overarching mystery was still left unresolved, but the new mystery and Cherry's associations with Lady Rutledge were REALLY fun to read about. Anyone who enjoyed the flamboyant figure of Lady Rutledge in Tarnished will enjoy Gilded. I am not certain if it was an intentional repetitive use of the word itself, or if I was just sensitive to it due to the title of the book, but Ms. Cooper seemed to use the word "gilded" quite frequently throughout the prose.

Gilded was another fast-paced and thoroughly enjoyable outing in the St. Croix Chronicles, but it is the ending that makes this book such a success. I was completely shocked by what happened and a little sad. But, when I sat down and really thought about it, I was in awe of Ms. Cooper’s skill in manipulating her characters into horrible situations but it still feeling organic to the story. She definitely knows how to end a book with a bang and leave her readers wanting more.

Cherry is sinking deeper and deeper into despair and her opium addiction in this book. The two sides to her life are conflicting more and more. She finds herself drawn back into the society scene when Cornelius returns, but she also has her debt to Karakash Veil hanging over her head. The two groups clash in a fascinating scene near the end of the novel and it was interesting to see the contrasts, especially Micajah versus Cornelius. By the end of the novel, Cherry has hit rock bottom and I am interested to see how Ms. Cooper will be able to drag her back up.

I do still enjoy Cherry as a character and loved learning even more about her family, but I’m really worried for her. I loved the progress she seemed to make throughout the book but the ending just shattered everything and left her worse off than in the beginning. I love the cast of characters that populate Cherry’s life, especially Zylla, Cornelius, and Lady Rutledge. I’m still undecided about Micajah Hawke; we don’t learn much more about him and I still don’t trust him. It will be interesting to see who Cherry considers her allies in the next book. I would also like to learn more about the fallout between Cherry’s mother and Cornelius’ mother. Also, I don’t quite trust Cornelius’ younger brother and am sure we haven’t seen the last of him.

The focus of this book is still the mysterious Ripper and the traces of an alchemical formula that Cherry owes to the Karakash Veil. Not much progress is made on either front, but Cherry does find a few interesting nuggets of information. I’m beginning to develop a suspicion about who the Ripper is, but I’m going to play it close to the vest for now. Cheery is also working on a mystery presented to her by Lady Rutledge that involves murder at the King’s College. A larger portion of this book focuses on Cherry’s society life and we get to see how she is treated by different people based on her parents’ legacies. Cornelius is her one rock in society and I thought the developments between them were nicely done.

I really enjoyed this book and thought it was even better than the debut novel, Tarnished. The ending was masterfully done and I can’t wait to see how the repercussions shape the next story in the St. Croix Chronicles.

Thank you to Edelweiss and Avon for providing an ARC copy of this book!(less)

A darkly intriguing mystery/romance and the second book in an action packed steampunk series. Including a brilliant and strong willed female lead that goes against the Victorian-like social norms of the setting, and perhaps a glimpse of a “Jack the Ripper–ish” sort of villain.

*(SPOILER ALERT) Please note if you have not read the first in this series this review does contain spoilers. Read my review for Tarnished (book #1) and pick it up first. I believe that they are still selling the ebook version for .99 cents at various online retailers. What a deal!

About: In a realistic yet fantastical setting – a steam powered Victorian London - we have the second in this atmospheric series. The complex and strong main character, Cherry St. Croix, was once a circus waif and performer, giving her physical attributes which allow her to pursue and apprehend persons of greater strength and stature than herself. A petite red-head with striking thick hair which she covers with lampblack on her outings into the polluted city underworld, she is not of bad character. Her darkness is due to forced circumstance. She is addicted to Laudanum (a poppy -derived opiate that was popular during Victorian times) and is also what is termed a “collector” – where she finds wanted persons or information for nefarious others for a price. It’s her way to maintain her addiction and to prevent herself from going mad due to the constrained mores for women of the times. Cherry does her best to get by in this world where women aTarnishedre not allowed to own property and are considered wards of their male family members.

In the first book of the series (Tarnished) we become familiar with Cherry, her romantic entanglements, and find out that she is the daughter of a crazy scientist and a beautiful socialite. In this second book, Cherry is in pursuit of a killer (she thinks Jack the Ripper perhaps?) who is dissecting the underworld “sweets” (prostitutes.) However, she finds that there is in fact another killer – so another mystery ensues.

Thoughts: Karina Cooper writes in an old fashioned convoluted style in this series, which works very well for the setting. It creates text that feels authentic and Victorian-ish. I do need to mention that readers may have to consult Google when looking up some of the old fashioned English words the author uses. Even John (my UK/English dictionary/husband) had some difficulty telling me what several words meant. But this is all good. We both “learnt somefink”.

It also has another fun cover much like the first in the series. I am really glad there is not a naked guy or a lot of skin featured on it. Which brings me to mention that I liked the light and tasteful romantic involvement included in both books since there’s nothing worse than a sex scene that makes me laugh when it’s not supposed to.

What happens to Cherry as we find out more about her and her romantic interests is the best part of this story. Cooper does romance well. But most compelling is how the author sets up this book for the next in the series with it’s heart pounding, drop off the edge of your seat ending. So don’t expect closure, I am thinking the next in this series will have a “Kill Bill-ish” flavor set in steampunk Victorian times? I can’t wait.

Recommended for readers who like strong and dark female leads, unexpected twists, a bit of a murder mystery and of course romance and steampunk. Skip this if you are looking for a solid ending, want happily ever after, or are not interested in being addicted to a series. I enjoyed this book A LOT. It’s a fun second book to hopefully a long series. 4 stars. My only regret is that I am not reading this series after the entire collection has been completed.

I enjoyed this book a lot, more than the first one. It was faster paced, and not as odd at the previous. There are still a lot of unanswered questions.

One of my predictions was proven very false. I now have a new prediction for the same thing, but really who knows.

I truly hope that it doesn't take too long for the next one to be out. I need to know what happens to Cherry.

Screw this book. I'm so mad, I can't even write anything intelligent about it. I'm going to create my own fantasy ending, wherein the last 30 pages don't happen, and just before those, the Too Stupid To Live "heroine" dies a horrible gruesome death. Which would have made this book a Happily Ever After, at least for me.

I really enjoyed Cherry St. Croix in Tarnished, but was slightly disappointed by Gilded. I liked her outrageous character collecting criminals and solving crimes in the first novel. The second novel, I found her to be a weaker character, giving in to the marriage conundrum and fighting off bouts of weakness constantly. I feel like it lost the excitement that I found in the first novel. I am hoping that the third will return to the dynamic action of the first book.
