rutabaga02's review against another edition

adventurous dark funny mysterious tense medium-paced

3.75

Was much better than the first book which gave us absolutely nothing. Finally got some actual romance and action. Not really sure why the first book was necessary, let alone separate in the first place.

ALSO: There were literally more r*pe scenes than there were cute romantic moments. And the cute little main character never gets harmed because of course.  


*SPOILER ALERT*

Also I don't know if this will be explained in the next book yet, but why did Midas see King Rot and Rip in the same room, like actively looked between them in a sentence ("I look between him and his commander." pg. 437), if they are the same person? Is this a plot hole or will it be explained later? Did King Rot lie about being Rip to trick Auren or something? I really do not know. I suppose I will find out. However, Rip being King Rot was predictable but I still lost it at the plot twist.

Third time reading this book but first time listening to the audiobook and honestly I love it even more, and I didn't think that was possible.

This had a lot more character development than book 1! I’m eager to continue the series. There’s a bit of a twist at the end and I can’t wait to see what happens next.
