Better than Gild (though that’s not saying much) and good enough that I’m invested in the story. The bones are there for some enthralling storytelling, but something is just missing the mark for me.

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.

The continuation of the gold plated prisoner series, a retelling of the story of Midas. It’s dark and captivating in a way similar to ACOTAR. The character progression is beautifully done and important life lessons about what is to be a woman in a man’s world are sprinkled through. The only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars is because I wanted to see more between Auren and Rip.
