Maybe one of my favorite things in a book is where the main character decides that are going to change the narrative and finally decide that they've had enough abuse. You go girl. As a side note, I also really enjoyed the addition of the Wrath team.

I didn't think I would fall so hard for this series. After finishing book #1, I started this one immediately. I couldn't put it down. It's medium paced and I enjoy all the characters. At times I find Auren and her self-talk annoying but I accept that it's the point and necessary for her story to understand how bad she's been manipulated. I love books that I'm so invested in the outcome of the MC, and there's some predictability and whole lot of surprises. This book has even more twists than the first. I can't wait to start #3.

In Gild, the first book, we mostly saw Auren’s POV with the final chapter being that of Midas. In Glint we get three different POVs throughout the book, though the majority still is Auren, we also see what Queen Malina and Midas are up to. Honestly, I already disliked both of these characters from the first interactions they had with Auren but alas writers always have a reason for showing the POV of people we don’t like. *sigh*


In the company of Commander Rip and the soldiers of the Fourth Kingdom, Auren is forced to think about her past and current situation. We get a lot of flashbacks to the time before Midas entered her life as well as some during the early days of Midas becoming King.


Auren had a lot of time to self-reflect and evaluate her relationship with Midas, though at times I was still left wanting to reach through my Kindle and shake her. At other times I wanted to reach through and hug her and tell her everything was going to be okay and could get better.


After finishing Glint I’m 100x more invested in seeing where Auren’s journey takes her. The way Glint ends I already know I’ll be picking up book 3, Gleam, soon as I have so many more questions and I’m desperate for answers. The urge to text friends who’re already caught up is strong but I must resist.

Better than Gild (though that’s not saying much) and good enough that I’m invested in the story. The bones are there for some enthralling storytelling, but something is just missing the mark for me.
