Gilded serpent review, Danielle L. Jensen

I’m slightly annoyed with this book. I assumed, for no particular reason lol, that this was the final book in the series. I was only part of the way through when I discovered it wasn’t.

I was also told by someone on TikTok that this book was spicy. It wasn’t.

I’m also confused by this book. So much of it was travelling. And it was painful. And slow. And annoying. This book is long,  it didn’t really pick up until about 65%. I just don’t understand the need for it. Why go to all this trouble only to leave us on a cliffhanger? It’s unnecessary and boring. And pointless.

I also found the second book in this series to be lacking, and this felt the Killian and Lydia chapters to be boring.

But less boring than all the travelling. Did I mention there’s travelling? I’m pretty sure I know the layout of the entire empire now for no other reason than this book spans it all.

If you’re a fan of the series this book is needed, if you’re on the fence, I’d wait until the final book and try and pick up the pieces.
