4 Stars/5
In Ourthuro, the King’s word is law and no one can go
against his wishes, not even his daughter, Princess Leena. However, Leena is
keeping a dangerous secret, she has fallen in love with Mikza, a solider, and
here father will punish them both if he ever finds out, but she is willing to abandon
her life of luxury and risk it all to be with him. Will they be able to escape before
it’s too late?
The Golden Cage is a really enjoyable prequel short story
in the A Dance of Dragons series. Even though it is a novella, it is not
lacking as it has forbidden romance and it was great to learn more about Leena.
I liked Leena as she is strong-willed and relatable, and is
not easily swayed by her father. Mikza is a strong and protective character
although I think he would have known more about how the king watched Leena.
Although not a happy ending, I am looking forward to reading
the other short story about Leena. I would recommend The Golden Cage to people
who enjoyed The Shadow Soul.
