INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY TEEN VOGUE
South Carolina Children's Book Award nominee
"A dark feminist tale spun with blood and gold. Must read!"–Dhonielle Clayton, New York Times bestselling author of The Belles
Sixteen-year-old Deka lives in fear and anticipation of the blood ceremony that will determine whether she will become a member of her village. Already different from everyone else because of her unnatural intuition, Deka prays for red blood so she can finally feel like she belongs.
But on the day of the ceremony, her blood runs gold, the color of impurity–and Deka knows she will face a consequence worse than death.
Then a mysterious woman comes to her with a choice: stay in the village and submit to her fate, or leave to fight for the emperor in an army of girls just like her. They are called alaki–near-immortals with rare gifts. And they are the only ones who can stop the empire's greatest threat.
Knowing the dangers that lie ahead yet yearning for acceptance, Deka decides to leave the only life she's ever known. But as she journeys to the capital to train for the biggest battle of her life, she will discover that the great walled city holds many surprises. Nothing and no one are quite what they seem to be–not even Deka herself.
The start of a bold and immersive fantasy series for fans of Children of Blood and Bone and Black Panther.

Exiled by her despotic brother, princess Malini spends her days dreaming of vengeance while imprisoned in the Hirana: an ancient cliffside temple that was once the revered source of the magical deathless waters but is now little more than a decaying ruin. The secrets of the Hirana call to Priya. But in order to keep the truth of her past safely hidden, she works as a servant in the loathed regent’s household, biting her tongue and cleaning Malini’s chambers.

In the perilous heart of Scion London, a dangerous and valuable poltergeist is on the loose - and it must be caught before chaos erupts on the streets of the capital.

Sixteen-year-old Paige Mahoney is working for Jaxon Hall, the most notorious mime-lord in the city. He thinks she is hiding a powerful gift, but it refuses to surface. Maybe this is the opportunity she needs to secure her position in his gang, the Seven Seals....

Most schools are about being the best. This school? It's about being the worst. Calder Academy is where the rogue paranormals go. The ones who break the rules or lose control. And when that happens for vamps, werewolves, witches, and dark fae? It gets pretty freaking scary. I should know. Because I'm trapped here.

Ce que les critiques en disent
"Namina Forna could be the Toni Morrison of YA fantasy." (Refinery 29)
"Fans of Children of Blood and Bone, Mulan, and the Dora Milaje from Black Panther are going to adore this one." (BuzzFeed)
"The girls are powerful, the danger is real, and the characters are engaging and diverse. Forna has accomplished something really special here, equal parts subversive and fun." (Tor)

Yaasss
What a great story! I absolutely adore this world that's been created and appreciate this text for being the Kick-Ass Black feminist literature that it is. It has a lot of really heavy topics (abuse, trauma, violence, etc) and deals with heavier topics than I expected in a YA so young readers definitely need a trigger warning (but nothing is too gory or unnecessary, all the issues are well presented and logical in their additional) It can be very violent but never unnecessarily so. I feel that this is a really well written, female lead, Black perspective that the fantasy world benefits from having. So good

A Gem In A Sea of Fantasy Duds
I was exhausted by the basic and overdone fantasy storylines Audible kept recommending (usually written by a man with 0 empathy and self awareness). So imagine my surprise when I came across The Gilded Ones on the day of its release!
This is not a light and frivolous book BUT explores real world issues (racism, xenophobia, misogyny, etc.) in an engaging way. Entertaining enough for adult readers and accessible enough for kids. Can’t say enough good things about the plot line. I can usually guess where things are going but Namina held my attention the whole way through! 10/10

Could not stop listening!
Captivating story and narrator! The female lead Deka goes through the most stunning character growth and I fell in love with all the lead characters. Can't recommend enough!

Not What You Expect At All... in a Good Way
It's definitely a different book from what I am used to. The Gilded Ones, by Namina Forma, has been on my TBR list for so long, and Im glad I finished it. I'll be honest, it took me a while to finish this boo. Yet once I got into it, I enjoyed and appreciated the twists and emotions that surprised me as I read. I recommend this book. I am looking forward to knowing more about this series in the next book!

Slow to start but worth the listen!
Great book based on a really cool story. Agreed with some other commenters that the book was too front loaded; it seemed to go on forever about the purity ritual, training, etc. Some of the accents were also cringe, although the narrator does an amazing job in every other sense! If you can stick it out until about halfway through, you’re in for a great listen. Can’t wait until the next book in the series comes out!

Absolutely captivating
I don't even know where to start. I had heard promising reviews and Namina Forna's tale did not fail to deliver on an Epic story that pulled me in from start to finish. This is a book that has it all; fantasy, mystery, suspense, romance, action. It is a true feminist novel, critiquing and dismantling the patriarchal barriers within and without.

Beautiful and creative
A wonderful addition to fantasy! I cannot get enough of the worldbuilding and power system. the story is engaging from start to finish and the characters are all interesting.
the ending felt rushed, perhaps the conclusion was inevitable - but the final bosses power level could have been foreshadowed somehow and the denouement could use a bit of work.
This would make an amazing YA movie trilogy.

I'm not usually into books like these, but we read it for bookclub and I am soooo glad I was introduced to this book and author. As I listened to the audio book, chapter by chapter, this book climbed to the top of my favourite book list! Namina Forna, you are talent personified!
BUY THIS BOOK and watch yourself become hooked!

Good story
Overall, good story with enough mystery to keep you engaged. At times, felt the pace of discovery was a bit too slow. Narration is good, but at times accents are distracting and take away from the content.

not gay :')
I got this book because it was on a sapphic scifi/fantasy list but alas, t'is het
spoiler:
I am pretty over the narrative that because a person isn't your biological parent they have no place as your parent and that parenthood is a bio thing. Did not love that very explicitly stated sentiment.
