Another being characters discussing revolutions (hauntingly alike the French and American) throughout the world and also talking about countries who are living now after overthrowing their Equal ruling elite. One example being the members amongst the long history of the revered Equals composed family trees. James has created a large amount of back history too for the Dark Gift's trilogy that is hauntingly similar to our own. Essentially, ten years of their lives where they work for the state in terrible conditions, for no money and during these times they have no rights and aren't even seen as real people any longer. Everyone lacking Skill is controlled and for ten years of their lives have to work their 'Slave Days'. The Equals are the ruling aristocrat elite here as they are born with the magic of Skill, they are the celebrities and they run the nation. This created world is a mix of Dickensian Britain (with slave towns) and modern Britain (with computer consoles and C-pop music). Gilded Cage is set in a dystopian, totalitarian alternative United Kingdom where certain individuals are born with the power of Skill. I received an ARC of Gilded Cage from NetGalley and I would like to thank Vic James and Del Rey Books.
