It was heartbreaking to see his spirit slowly dimming, to watch that fighting fire slowly burn out until he’s pretty much a shell of what he once was. After being brought to Master and Cammy I could feel his determination to overcome his predicament and get free. He went through so much emotionally and psychologically thanks to Master. His narrative of the story was heartbreaking to witness.

Zay was the one character I really, really connected with. Little did he know, Daddy wasn’t talking about the furry, four-legged kind. So, his Daddy offered to get him a Puppy to play with while he was away. Despite being happy enough with his life, Cammy felt lonely during the day while Daddy worked. Cammy resisted the expectations of his Daddy when the older man wanted him to behave like a baby, but succumbed to the pressure of being what was demanded. He’d been abused by his parents before Daddy brought him home to live a new life as a Little. There were things Cammy didn’t really like, things his Daddy expected him to do, yet he did them to make Daddy happy. It was easy to see that he was innocent and naive when it came to his Daddy. I liked him from the moment he appeared in the book. Sweet, sweet Cammy was a character my heart hurt for. Master knowns that Zay is a strong person both physically and mentally, so he dives into training the new puppy with a firm hand. Master, on the other hand, is callous toward Zay. He seems to genuinely love his Little, wanting him to be healthy and happy. While interacting with Cammy, Daddy is such a sweet caregiver as long as Cammy’s a good boy.

Hyde change when dealing with them both separately. It’s almost as if he’s two different people, though I wouldn’t go so far as to say it’s a complete Dr. The way he treats Cammy and Zay differently is very intriguing. He’s what people refer to as a phycological sadist. Daddy, who despite saying he isn’t a sadist, comes across as one remorseless, controlling individual.

I don’t normally write my review focusing on the characters, but I thought I would for this book because the plot is so character-driven. I like being able to distinguish between the characters easily no matter whose point of view I’m experiencing the story through. They are all extremely different from one another personality-wise which was refreshing for me. There are three main characters that this book focuses on Daddy/Master, Camden/Cammy, and Isaiah/Zay. The characters and plot of the prose were so thought-provoking I had to start scribbling my thoughts down to retain initial reactions. I enjoyed Zachary’s narrative for Guilded Cages. Despite not being a big fan of Zachary Zaba, I was enthralled by the story he was telling me. I was pleasantly surprised to find that wasn’t the case for R. When I write a review, I usually wait until I’ve finished the book before getting started on the reviewing process.
