Did not expect to enjoy this book as much as I did. The story is pretty fast paced. Easy to keep up with. This first book focused a lot on introducing characters and world building. I definitely do not like King Midas. He is for sure up there with Dain and Tamlin. Also Every time I read “my Precious” I envision that scene with Gollum in LOTR.
I definitely hadn’t expected her to have the same power as King Midas especially since I thought that power couldn’t be bestowed on anyone. But now thinking about it I wouldn’t be surprised if Midas was a fraud and that is why he keeps Auren locked up and constantly calling her “my precious” and “mine” because she is the one who can turn things into gold and he has been claiming he is gifted and using her power to his advantage. Even Queen Malina is like I kNoW yOuR sEcReTs—then again I’m probably completely off.
