I loved it
Also, Auren finally ending midas with gold was bliss. I kind of wish he suffered more, but still, it was gratifying.
I kind of wanted the nobles and the people to realize it was Auren all along who had the gold, but making asumptions about her being able to steal powers was better somehow.

You know, maybe sometimes we don't need a plot. Maybe some healing and some sex is enough.

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 đđ
Slade deserves more book time đ«”, 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 weâve 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?!?

This is also the only series I feel has no definite beginning, middle nor end for each book. Itâs more so just one sliver of a large overarching story that stems from the first book. Thereâs usually 1 definite moment that becomes the highlight of each book so far but again, beginning and end are all pretty blurry.
This approach makes the world and its world-building pretty lacking with more questions than answers as book seems to stray away from. The majority of the focus is on its characters and their relationships/development.
So despite all its flaws, the slowburn is immaculate. The payoff from book 2 into book 3 is delicious. I love the tension, the flirtations, and the push/pull between our FMC and her love interest.
I will say, however, my biggest gripes were some of the pet names that were used (I hate seeing âbabyâ as a term of endearment) and some of the raunchier scenes that just felt a little bit out of place with the rest of the book.
Overall the series has me hooked and despite its flaws I will be finishing all of it.

De son cĂŽtĂ© Auren continue de dĂ©construire sa bulle de protection pour reconnaĂźtre les abus et sortir de ce schĂ©ma de maltraitance. Le dĂ©veloppement psychologique est vraiment bien maitrisĂ© et encore une fois, on ne peut quâapprĂ©cier sa force. La quatriĂšme armĂ©e et le Wrath m'ont vraiment manquĂ© et je nâattendais quâune chose : quâelle quitte ce stupide palais au plus vite.
La personnalitĂ© de Rip est hyper intĂ©ressante Ă creuser et je suis encore plus tomber amoureuse de lui. CĂŽtĂ© intrigue, plusieurs passages m'ont briser le cĆur et le cliffhancer Ă©tait vraiment horrible ! Heureusement que la suite est dĂ©jĂ sortie, parce que je nâaurais pas pu rester sur cette fin.
