When I catch the mf that Midas is it’s OVER FOR HIM. 

Auren my love, u literally deserve the entire world. I am so glad that she grew within herself and learned to prioritize herself. But I am absolutely DEVASTATED for her 😭💔

Slade deserves more book time 🫵, I need to see more of him and hope that the next books show me that. He is so fineeeee. 

As for Slade & Auren, I wish we got to see more of their relationship. It seems like we’ve mostly seen Midas and Auren relationship rather than Slade and her and I hope that the next books show me MORE of them. 

The literal plot twist at the end had my jaw DROPPING, I CANNOT believe what I had read and need time to sit on this because WTF?!?

Aussitôt le tome 2 terminé, je n'avais d'autre choix que d'enchainer directement sur la suite et j'ai vraiment bien fait ! Ici on retrouve Midas qui m'a vraiment terrorisé pendant toute l'histoire. Il est tellement imprévisible, impulsif et manipulateur qu’il en devient terrifiant. 

De son côté Auren continue de déconstruire sa bulle de protection pour reconnaître les abus et sortir de ce schéma de maltraitance. Le développement psychologique est vraiment bien maitrisé et encore une fois, on ne peut qu’apprécier sa force. La quatrième armée et le Wrath m'ont vraiment manqué et je n’attendais qu’une chose : qu’elle quitte ce stupide palais au plus vite. 

La personnalité de Rip est hyper intéressante à creuser et je suis encore plus tomber amoureuse de lui. Côté intrigue, plusieurs passages m'ont briser le cœur et le cliffhancer était vraiment horrible ! Heureusement que la suite est déjà sortie, parce que je n’aurais pas pu rester sur cette fin.
