Don't get me wrong, I really enjoyed reading this! But at some point I looked down, saw that I was on page 370 and still — almost nothing had happened.
There's some character and relationship development and I did enjoy reading about the soldiers and their time at camp but really, all of that could've been shortened.
We do get loads of fun reveals at the end of the book though, one of them I really didn't expect. Will continue reading this series but really, don't expect too much plot from this installment (and I'm saying this as someone who's always characters > plot).

Auren learns to look more at her self as a powerful person. She has trusted Midas for a decade to keep her safe because he did when she was down on her luck. She is seeing “cracks” in their relationship and she is analyzing that internally.
Spoiler
Auren is amazing and watching her get more control of her powers is amazing. (Her being the real “Midas.)
