4.0
4.5 stars- thank you to Earthling publications for providing me with an ARC.
In "Midas," we follow former preacher "Jeremiah Pevensie," whom we quickly learn is devastated and questioning the existence of God over the death of his son Samuel. After an outburst at a sermon, in which he proclaimed God to be a thief to his congregation, Jeremiah and his wife Emma now live in ruin. The story truly takes off when a horse approaches the Pevensie home (which is situated next to a notoriously dangerous forest), concerned for the rider's safety, Jeremiah enters the woodland.. changing his life forever. The former-preacher finds the horse's owner dead, and not only does the man have more gold than Jeremiah has ever seen before, but he's bleeding it.
This is a story featuring grief, greed, religion and pure terror. It is of course inspired by the legend of King Midas. It is well-thought out, incredibly intelligent, exquisitely written.. and so HEAVY. I have a full review live on my blog
