Raven Kennedy's Gild receives mixed reviews. Readers praise its unique spin on the King Midas myth, engaging world-building, and strong narrative voice. However, some critique the pacing as uneven and find certain character developments lacking depth. Overall, Gild captivates with its fresh take on mythology but may not appeal to those seeking more complex character arcs.
Readers who would enjoy Gild by Raven Kennedy are fans of dark fantasy with intricate world-building and strong, flawed heroines. Comparable to enthusiasts of Sarah J. Maas's A Court of Thorns and Roses series, they appreciate romantic subplots intertwined with intense political intrigue and mythological elements. Ideal for those who enjoy a blend of brutality, beauty, and emotional depth.
