1.0
Annoying it was the writing style that irritated the most. The multiple similes back to back. The excessive inner chatter of the first person narrators in POV characters.

This series has some of the strongest lead character development I’ve ever read. Bold claim, I know. I love Auren, I love her journey, I can’t wait to see how this continues to unfold. **Squeals in delight**
and SLADE!!!?? Have I found yet another fictional husband???? holy hannah RIP my morals when he purrs (sorry mom)
And cue Ryatt??? Mans’ has a brother?????? 💀☠️😳🫠
There is so much action in this book, I couldn’t put it down. This series is leaving its mark on me forever. I usually never write spoilers but I just need to speak on it and word vomit about this book for a sec. cuz wowowowowow everything is coming together so exquisitely. Sayonara Midas. I hated you, gosh you were the worst. Rushing to go devour the next one.
If you love fantasy romance and Raven Kennedy isn’t on your radar she should be. This series should be.
Beautifully written, the plated prisoner series has become one of my absolute favorites to date.

It spoke to so much of my personal trauma but was done so respectfully you can’t not love this book.
Raven Kennedy writes gold, pun intended.
It’s dark, but we get so much character development. The world building as it has been in previous books, is perfection; the plot is amazing, the pace is perfect.
There is a lot of abuse between Auren and Midas and he becomes completely unhinged so definitely keep that in mind.
On the bright side, we have some real romance and spice and I squealed. This was the most amazing slow burn, it pained me in the best way every step of the way.
This book had me sharing in Auren’s emotions every step of the way and I’m ready for more. Here to willingly drown in the gold that is this series!

Also, what the fuck was the first sex scene with Slade? He pinched and pulled her clitoris?? Has Raven Kennedy ever rubbed one out? I was disgusted. It’s like describing a blow job with teeth scraping the shaft and calling it “hot”. 🤢🤮
Overall I really enjoyed reading this book. While frustrated, I did enjoy seeing Auren slowly become more independent. I blew through this book it was so captivating. (Especially the last 20%) I was DEVASTATED during the Dew/Ribbon scene. And when she finally gave in to her power 😱🤩🥳. It was probably the best action scene I’ve read in a while. I literally cannot stop thinking about it.
If she is not a 100% bad bitch by the end of Glow i’m fucking done with this series.
Jk im too invested and will read what ever Kennedy puts out.
