Really good series! It's a mix of ACOTAR, FBAA and GOT. Loved the characters and their relationships with one another. Also love the tension, a very slow burn series.

4.5

First read: 4 - ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Second read: 4.5 - ⭐⭐⭐⭐💫

This book was a huge step-up from Gild. The world-building is quite intricate, but once the story kicked off, it KICKED OFF. 

There was an amazing plot twist (more than one, actually) which was masterfully written and I quite enjoyed having Kennedy go more in-depth with our characters. This is also the first book in the series to be told from multiple point-of-views, including Auren's, Malina's, and Midas' perspectives (I'm not counting that one chapter in the previous book) so that enhanced the story even more.

In conclusion, the book is entertaining, not too long and the characters are likable. That is all I usually ask of my fantasy books so I'm more than happy. Also, the Plated Prisoner series gives me such From Blood and Ash vibes so it's got that going for it too.

I've read all three books currently available in this series and I love them all!

The story starts off a little slow but then it starts drip feeding you these little hints that not everything is as it seems and it just drags you in. 

I will say one thing, it does take a lot for the main character to grow sometimes but please bear with!
