4.0
despite this, i thought gold was a strong addition to the plated prisoner series and i enjoyed it more than glow. the slow pace and dragged out storylines of the last book pay off. in gold, the readers get to reap the benefits of the connected dots (saira turley storyline + malina's disjointed travels throughout the kingdoms + slade's long backstory/flashback chapters), mainly through auren and malina's character development.
although auren in the main character of this series, i must admit, malina stole the show in book 5!

Animal cruelty is one scene with mythical creatures. Suicidal thoughts, but no attempts and no death related to suicide. The rest are pretty expected if you've gotten this far into the series.
