In the beginning it seems like Auden was turned to gold, or golden touched as thry call her, by King Midas. And it seems like he is the one with the power to turn people to gold, and maybe he does but im not so sure anymore. Especially since Auden turned someone to gold. And told Rissa not to tell anyone.
Makes me wonder what King Midas power really is, because he has to have some power because it would be weird if no one had ever seen him turn something to gold.
I guess we will find out as the series continues.

So I went into this book with no knowledge of what it was about or what would happen. I have been hearing great things about this book for a while now but nothing could have prepared me for how amazing this was. Personally, it's not like anything I've ever read before. And as soon as this review is posted I'm going to start Glint. I 100,000% recommend this book. I can't wait to see where this goes. I'm honestly so shocked and I have so many questions. This book evoked so many emotions. I was and still very angry at a lot of the characters for the cruel ways they treated Auren and other saddles. I cried and laughed. (Also I want to say that I don't think that this book is a sure way to make you cry or anything. I tend to be an emotional reader. However, I do think that even if you aren't as much of an emotional reader as me this book will still bring forth the strong emotions.) So stop reading reviews and READ THIS!
