Omg why did I wait so long to start this series?!

Auren is Midas’s prized pet, or his Precious. We find that they met when she was younger, where he saved her. But Midas had a goal of marrying into the sixth kingdom to bring prosperity. Over the last ten years, Auren has lived in a gold cage. She is seen as the kings prized saddle and she is getting tired of it. As soon as she gets tired of it, Midas decides to forge alliance with the fifth kingdoms king, so they can overtake the King of Rot, king of the fourth kingdom. But as plans continue, unexpected decisions are made and Auren is questioning everything.

I loved this first book. I enjoyed seeing Auren’s thoughts and getting a decent back story into all the characters. I can’t wait to see how this series plays out.

This book feels like it could have been an email. Nothing happened till the very end. It wasn’t bad but wasn’t great.

Um. Wut. 

I’m flabbergasted. I keep hearing how good this series is, but this book? The men are all sexiest asses. RIBBONS?? Bruh, what is this series? 

I keep hearing this is the worst book, but I need some time to decide if I will continue…
