This book is not good for my health because every time Auren yearned to return to Midas my blood pressure skyrocketed, but I guess that’s the reality of having the ideology of someone she thought she could trust deeply ingrained into her very being. Props to author to be able to invoke such visceral feelings from me. But still Auren dear stop being such a goddamn doormat in the next book

I liked this one better than the first. I was really struggling to love Auren. Rip intrigued me from the get go and Midas has always given me the ick. I also found a lot of the reveals predictable in this book.

I had to keep reminding myself that Auren is responding to trauma and that’s why she makes what I would call dumb decisions. It made it difficult to get through sometimes. I want to root for Queen Malina but I am not rooting for her she’s almost as ugly as Midas. Midas not having any actual powers surprised me and Rip and Rot being the same person also surprised me

There was enough interesting things and surprises to keep me interested but I’m going to need Auren to step it up for me to love this series because at this time it’s a meh. I do like however how it shows someone breaking down and dismantling their beliefs and how difficult that can be.
