Gild (The Plated Prisoner Series Book 1)

Product Information

When a power move yields results that will increase the king's domain for the first time in years Auren is once again allowed access to the outside world. She and the other royal saddles will journey to the king accompanied only by soldiers for their protection. It’s on this journey Auren comes into her own having to dig down deep discovering reserves of strength she thought she was no longer capable of. Another way of dealing with or facing her trauma is found for Auren in submission, at least that's what she repeatedly claims in the book, while also not wanting to rely on others (especially men), yet continuing to do exactly that: There is a new character I think readers are going to be very excited to meet. I won't spoil who but she is an important figure for one of the characters. I mean you’re mine to please. To pleasure. You’re mine to protect. To adore. To hear. To see. To experience. To love.”

We get a love of solid character growth and (hehe) rot of course and I just loved how it all played out. Continuing on with multiple POVs from our favorites really just rounds out the story telling and enhances the experience. Slade continues to be dramatic AF (mood) and Auren in this book is just so perfect and ugh her growth makes me so emotional 🥹😭✋🏼Il mito di Re Mida lo conosciamo tutti. E fino ad oggi, non avevo mai collegato il parallelismo con i miei gusti estetici: ho sempre avuto un’ossessione per il colore oro. E quando dico ossessione, non scherzo. Ha quel qualcosa in più che nei libri mi rapisce, ammalia, conquista. Nella mia libreria, ad esempio, vorrei solo libri con copertine dorate. PS: His father can rot in hell. I know he will show up in the next book, and I hope Slade makes him pay! Book 3 of this adult fantasy series continues in this epic story inspired by the myth of King Midas, fae, fated romance, and insurmountable greed.

GLOW resumes right from the explosive ending of Gleam and begins in a shroud of extreme dread within the first quarter of the book that will keep a tight hold on your heart.And now, when she sits down to write a story, things often get too emotional. So, Kennedy feels the need to work on something light-hearted. This way, she has managed to maintain the balance in her work all along. First, the positive: despite its flaws, this series is compulsively readable. I never want to put the books down, even when they annoy me.

Raven Kennedy, the book’s author is inspired by obscure myths. She likes to explore stories that no other author has attempted. Her previous published series was inspired by cupids, while The Plated Prisoner focuses on the myth of King Midas. Time works differently in faerie so a possible time jump - Auren will be in a mini coma because the drain of magic and stab wounds - won't wake up until like 20% of the book (again! boooooo!!! tomato tomato tomato!!) Listen, don't gild me but I didn't like this installment as much as I wanted to. So, before I'm cast out let me explain:We get 3 chapters for Queen Malina whose entire plotline seems to be the most important one going into Gold. 3 plus the epilogue showing what I stated in the previous sentence. She's the one building the road for an entire book and she gets 4 chapters out of 66 (if we include the epilogue), that equals 6% for someone who was the most relevant for the plot going out of Glow? Wow. But - it gets worse. Oh, Goldfinch. I would’ve found you in whatever world you were in. In whatever life.” My lips tip up in a soft smile, because I believe him. “You would’ve found me in them all.” I expected to see more of Slade but I was delighted to get to know him in a new light and on a much deeper level. I got to understand and see the many facets of him: from Slade to King Rot and to Commander Rip.
