Not my favorite writing, but I’m hopeful for this series. I found it really interesting seeing the dynamic between Auren and Midas play out. It’s clearly abusive and manipulative, but the main character doesn’t realize that yet. So you want to see her get past her love for him and step out of her cage, even if she’s infuriating in the mean time

Great start to the series, I was emotionally invested in the characters and I did not find it to be predictable at all. It was also an easy read, I read it in one day and did not feel bored of it. It is a reflection of what it feels to be a woman when misogyny is still very much present. I am looking forward to see how female friendships grow stronger and what the rest of the plot looks like.

“Why am I so cursed to endure the greed of men? Is it simply the gild of my skin? Or is it something more, something deeper […]”

“Rissa, who would’ve performed and taken everything he threw at her like a professional, because that’s how strong she is.”

“But memory and time aren’t friends […] always losing one as you go with the other.”
