slow-paced

0.75

Ergh. Predicable. Boring. Even skimming this was tedious. Barely any plot. And far far too much inner narrative from the first person narratives of the handful of POV characters. And only if brief scene of spice by queen Malina. Thankfully no traumatic violence from book one.

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.

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.
