This book is HEAVY. It’s honestly emotionally taxing and I wasn’t expecting it. 

I was deeply d saddened by the themes of the book and it made it difficult to get through at certain parts. It’s violent. Mostly towards women. 

However, I was gripped from page one. 

I liked three characters in this book. The MC, Auren, I liked Sail (my baby boy) and Digby. By the end I liked Rissa too. 

Mostly I hate everyone tho lol. 

However! I love the turn this book took at the end! I can’t believe I didn’t guess it earlier! Auren is the one who can turn things to hold and not Midas!  I’m ecstatic! 

I’m also excited to see some real romance bloom between our girl and a man who turkey respects her and loves her for HER.

9/9 EDIT: thinking about it, I need to lower my rating I think this book compared to the others was just not good. The violent themes toward women didn’t sit well with me, and compared to my other 3 star ratings it just doesn’t compare. I’m sorry.
