Hi Cara,
Today's review on my blog is The Gilded Cage by Lynette Noni. The Gilded Cage is the second book in The Prison Healer series.
The Gilded Cage is being published on the 7th October 2021.
Kiva trades one cage for another when she leaves behind a deadly prison for a deceptive palace in this dark and dangerous sequel to The Prison Healer, which Sarah J. Maas called "a must-read."
Kiva Meridan is a survivor.
She survived not only Zalindov prison, but also the deadly Trial by Ordeal. Now Kiva’s purpose goes beyond survival to vengeance. For the past ten years, her only goal was to reunite with her family and destroy the people responsible for ruining their lives. But now that she has escaped Zalindov, her mission has become more complicated than ever.
As Kiva settles into her new life in the capital, she discovers she wasn’t the only one who suffered while she was in Zalindov—her siblings and their beliefs have changed too. Soon it’s not just her enemies she’s keeping secrets from, but her own family as well.
Outside the city walls, tensions are brewing from the rebels, along with whispers of a growing threat from the northern kingdoms. Kiva’s allegiances are more important than ever, but she’s beginning to question where they truly lie. To survive this time, she’ll have to navigate a complicated web of lies before both sides of the battle turn against her and she loses everything.

The Gilded Cage is a book full of drama and deceit.
Kiva has to deal with her waring loyalties. This meant I spent a lot of the book going Oh No don't do that. If this was a film or T.V show I would have been watching it through my fingers.
In a lot of books where a group is trying to overthrow the Crown. The ruling monarchy is never shown in a good light. But in The Gilded Cage, we see the good and the bad. It also makes Jaren more irresistible.
Finding out more about the world, and Kiva family made it interesting and gripping. Especially their influence on the ending.
Overall I really enjoyed The Gilded Cage and I CAN NOT wait for the next book.
My Rating for The Gilded Cage is 4.8 out of 5.
