The Gilded Ones #2: The Merciless Ones
INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The epic, hotly anticipated sequel to the instant bestseller The Gilded Ones about a girl with the power to remake her world—or destroy it.
“Fans of Children of Blood and Bone, Mulan, and the Dora Milaje from Black Panther are going to adore [The Gilded Ones].”—BuzzFeed
It's been six months since Deka freed the goddesses in the ancient kingdom of Otera and discovered who she really is... but war is waging across the kingdom, and the real battle has only just begun. For there is a dark force growing in Otera—a merciless power that Deka and her army must stop.
Yet hidden secrets threaten to destroy everything Deka has known. And with her own gifts changing, Deka must discover if she holds the key to saving Otera... or if she might be its greatest threat.
The Merciless Ones is the second thrilling installment of the epic fantasy series in which a young heroine fights against a world that would dare tame her.

Wow. What an incredible sequel. I already loved all of the main characters, (Deka, Keita, Britta, White Hands, Belcalis, etc), but I got to learn more about them and also watch them grow and all their relationships develop in this book and that made me really happy. Also, the plot itself, and the way the story was told, my GOSH Namina you are phenomenal. I’m sad I have to wait so long for the third installment, but I am more than sure it will be worth the wait. I don’t want to say much else so I don’t spoil it, but again, the inclusion and representation in this novel was incredible, and there are very few times in which a book makes me cry in public but this one did it. 11/10 frfr, great job Namina! now don’t make us wait too long for the third hahahahaha
