I'm in, I'm hooked, I'm excited to read more!
I enjoyed the start to this series and the breadcrumbs the author is sprinkling for us to build this world! Even though a whole lot of nothing happens throughout pretty much the entire book I was entranced by it and consumed every moment!

So far its a bery interesting story and im interested to see where it goes.

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.

3.5⭐️s: VERY slow start to this book. I was struggling to get through the first 100 or so pages but it started to pick up once they left Fifth. Sail’s death CRUSHED me, that was very SJM style in my opinion but it was a good intro. Hopefully the rest of the series picks up some speed and spice!
