Detailing the numerous plot holes would lead to spoilers, so I'll resist, but by the end of this I was walking around my flat muttering about 'lack of consistency' and 'come the hell on, we all know ghosts can walk through walls'.“When it comes to reimagined fairy tales, the reigning queen of the genre is Marissa Meyer.” -The New York Times Also, begging and pleading do not constitute a heroic plan. This sequel was a series of meandering plot points driven by illogical character moves, including my favourite hallmark of bad writing 'Oh I can't tell my soulmate the truth about because '.
Instead, I continued on (perhaps I'd come under the influence of the endless poor decision making of these main characters). The first was a pleasant, YA retelling of a fairy story- Great accompaniment for a spring clean, good characters, pleasant romance, some funny moments- Overall, zero complaints, But I should have known to cut my losses and walk away when the first book ended, not with a final denouement, but some nonsensical reason to spin this tale out further. I enjoyed Gilded, but it should have been 1 book.
