This is the second time I am reading the Plated Prisoner series (in time for the release of Goldfinch later this year 🫣🫣🫣) and I still really love the start to Auren's story. Knowing how things will progress made some parts even more heartbreaking

I am still crying over Sail's death and Rissa being raped 😞

I absolutely love how Auren is already starting to grow by the end of Gild and I am so glad to follow her along once again 💛
