Can’t get enough of this series! A fantastic retelling of the King Midas story. Great character developments and plot, still so many twists and turns and more mysteries to uncover. Looking forward to the next installment!

This is one of my favorite books in the series. I love the growth of Auren, and while we get the backstory of her and Midas’ relationship, she is starting to see it for what it is as it unravels. And is starting to grow and break free into her own person to form a healthy, mutually shared relationship.

Auren is back with Midas again, this time fighting her inner demons and slowly - very, very slowly - on a character growth journey. Slade and Auren's romance is the shining light of this novel. This series has a great premise but would have benefitted greatly from a talented editor to help shape the story. This book slogged on endlessly, and much of it could have been cut or consolidated. That said, I continue to appreciate the slow arc of Auren's journey and plan to continue reading the series.
