The Gilded Wolves by Roshani Chokshi
2.75
This was an immensely frustrating read not because it was bad (a 3-star rating for me is pretty decent) but because it felt like there was so much wasted potential.
Many aspects of the book are so good but are weighed down by some baffling authorial choices. For example, Forging, one of the main mechanics of the magic system, is never shown and always happens off-page inexplicably despite it being central to the plot. It's just a baffling choice by the author that is unnecessarily confusing to readers.
