I knew nothing about it before, but the plotline alone intrigued me enough to start reading 'Gilded Cage' right away. The story is set, and the pace followed, but I then realised there were so many characters that I couldn't recognise them all at the same time. I mean, I would have no problem if they were introduced later in the story, or at least you could've mentioned it once, so that we can have clarity.
And next thing is, yes, English may not have been our native, but well, we'll grow with time, but the point of narration was rotating too fast for me to recognise the scene. So please just consider narrating it in a more sequential manner for us to have a good grip of the story.
This is the main reason I discontinued this book. But I look forward to your work in the near future and if possible do let me know :)
Wishing you a very good luck.
Until again.
