What did I just listen? This book was not for me... I didn't like the way women are described and used jn this book. You are always keep in the edge asking yourself when she will be sexually abuse... Worse thing is, there are parts I enjoyed in the book but I cannot get over the violence, rape, Stockholm syndrome, abuse and misogyny.

Compelling world building, character dev is wayyyyy too slow for me— hate feeling like I don’t even know the MC after ~300pgs of first person narration 

So yeah, still unsure with Auren. Lots of potential but got little to nothing after a lot of on page time together. Very show don’t tell with her development but I want more what’s going through her head.

Liked the spin on the King Midas story. Auren’s Stockholm Syndrome is totally showing, but I love her inner commentary and positive attitude. I definitely see her character growing already and look forward to seeing her strength blossom. I already know Midas is a bad guy. . .because he’s blonde. Lol. Diving into Book 2 immediately.

This book is a promising start, although I will say Auren did annoy me a little. But I'm looking forward to see where this story takes us and Auren. I feel like this was definitely just the tip of the iceberg.

I thought it was imaginative. The writing was fine. I liked the main character's fight. I didn't think the sexual violence needed to be graphic to be effective. I would've liked the book better if there was less on page abuse. This is probably just not the subject matter for me.
