I liked this more than expected. I am often not a fan of novellas unless it is a series that I am already invested in. This was my intro to the series. And is has left me craving more!
Leena seems like a sweet girl who has seen too much cruelty for her years. Unexpected since she is a princess, right? Not when the evil one is her own father. She has much to learn of the word but a decent grasp of the limited reality she knows. The ending left me with mixed emotions. I can't say what because I don't want to mislead you in why I think that way without spoilers. Very mild fantasy element so far. And no known dragons which left me sad with that series title. But this was just a prequel so I am not without hope. There is a story to her backround not yet shared....

The Golden Cage A Dance of Dragons #05 eBook Kaitlyn Davis Reviews

This is a novella but it packs a lot of "grab you" in such a small page count! A king with 12 daughters and one son. At his fifth birthday he is gifted a sword with jewels and a sharp edge and because of a small misstep by the servant presenting it to him, the little boy becomes a barbaric image of his father in one small act. It is the last act that gives Leena the push to leave with her lover. She wanted to save her half brother, keep him from being like their father, but seeing no chance of it now, she and her lover plan their escape. As you can imagine, things aren't that simple.

It's a good story, Leena reminding me of a strong heroine from other stories. For some reason it feels like this setting is in the Far East, but there really isn't a reason I can say why. Just my idea. I thought at first with the twelve sisters this would be part of a retelling of the Twelve Dancing Princesses. No, not at all. There is the hint of political scheming going on, a barbaric and misogynistic ruler, and adventure. I've read the synopsis for the next full novel and I can't see how they are connected at all, but I am going to read it. The story is not unique, but it is compelling enough that I want to know what happens to Leena and what that next story has to do with her story.

If you enjoy fantasy, I think you'll enjoy this one. The world building has just begun but the palace, the place where Leena lives is the Gold kingdom and down it goes from there until the stone meets the ocean. I think this is going to be really good. And even the hint of dragons....I'm ready to read more.
How to write a review on a 51 page book....hmmm...I don't know. I loved it though. LOVED it. I had to go download the first book in the series as soon as I finished. I must know what happens.

I need to find out what Leena does. Her father the King is the devil. The D.E.V.I.L. I cannot even tell you how much I do not like him.

Leena and her true love are separated and it's heartbreaking. There has to be more to that story.

I enjoyed this novella, if you cannot tell. There was quite a bit packed into this little 51 page book. It was so very sad. I think of how Kings use to rule, and it breaks my heart. Why does everything have to be done with such cruelty? Well, what I love is that Leena is not okay with the way things are. She wants to fight back. She wants things to be better.

The people in the kingdom are marked with tattoos depending on their "station" in life. Leena being a princess is ordained with beautiful ones. Then there are those who are "lowly" and only have simple tattoos. Then there are the "slaves" that get their tattoos forcibly removed by the kings men by cutting their skin away and leaving them horribly scarred. Like I said there is a lot that goes on in this little novella.

I cannot wait to read The Shadow Soul (A Dance of Dragons #1)

Source I received this novella as part of a tour. I was not compensated in any way for this review. These are my own PERSONAL thoughts on the book.
Leena is in love with a soldier. It's a dangerous feeling. She's a princess and her father already has plans for her future.

Leena can no longer watch her young brother transform into a cruel ruler.

To escape from it all, she needs help. Mikza, the man she loves and who's willing to give his life for her, will do whatever he can to help Leena run away from the golden cage.

This story left me heartbroken and curious. It's a good introduction to the cruel world of Ourthuro, to some of the characters. I don't know which of them will show up in the first book of Dance of Dragons, but I can't wait to read it already.

I loved the writing, the story, the magic, the idea of tattoos identifying person's status. It's fascinating how many information a good story can provide within 50 pages. And it wasn't just an information dump, it was cleverly put as Leena's thoughts and observations.

I received a copy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
