Okay now I'm even more confused just for different reasons.

It's obvious that King Midas doesn't have the power to turn things to gold that is all Auren. But how has he gotten away with that. I still need that answered.

And what is up with Rip? Or King Rot? How ever you want to refer to him. And how did he appear as 2 people both Rip and Rot in the presence of King Midas. Does he has someone else pretend to be Rip when he has to be Rot? And how does he change forms? Is that a Fae thing and is so is Auren able to do the same so that she doesn't turn everything she touch to gold? Is it something all Fae can do or just him?

Hopefully we find out as the series continues.

I liked this one better than the first. I was really struggling to love Auren. Rip intrigued me from the get go and Midas has always given me the ick. I also found a lot of the reveals predictable in this book.

I had to keep reminding myself that Auren is responding to trauma and that’s why she makes what I would call dumb decisions. It made it difficult to get through sometimes. I want to root for Queen Malina but I am not rooting for her she’s almost as ugly as Midas. Midas not having any actual powers surprised me and Rip and Rot being the same person also surprised me

There was enough interesting things and surprises to keep me interested but I’m going to need Auren to step it up for me to love this series because at this time it’s a meh. I do like however how it shows someone breaking down and dismantling their beliefs and how difficult that can be.

This is my reread of the series in preparation for the release of Goldfinch later this year. I still very much enjoy the growing relationship between Auren and Rip and I love that she finally starts to find her way to herself. Already knowing the major plot points it was fun to remeet Lu, Judd and Osrik and I am still a great fan of the Wrath. Malina is still obnoxious and entitled and I still think she deserved all that happened to her for being such a horrible monarch. However, I still think her plotlines are super important for the overall story and she is definitely not my least favourite monarch (looking at you Midas).
