This might have been my favorite of the series so far- I like seeing Auren and Slades relationship grow and her grow into herself. Also the politics is getting intense

Thank you, Michael Joseph Penguin Publishing, for sending this book in exchange for an honest review. 

This book is still based on Auren. She has burned down the court of King Midas and from those flames, she will rise and wield her own power. The problem Auren having is when you turn against a King, everyone else turns against you. The whole kingdom is wanting Auren’s to be put on trial for the deaths of King Midas and Prince Niven. But with Slade by her side, they will fight the monarchs that come for them. And if they need to be villains, then so be it. Because as long as Auren is alive and breathing, she has vowed she won’t be used again.  

I was disappointed in this book. I think I was expecting too much after Gleam. I felt like some of the storyline was repeated. Auren thinks she can trust x person, x person betrays her, she gets kidnapped and goes missing. That was this storyline which we read about in Glid. I just felt like it was too repetitive, I wanted something else other than the storyline we’ve had. The only difference between this and Glid is that I love Slade and the way he cherished Auren. The spice and tension between those two were hot and intense. The only thing I loved in this book was the additional romance brewing with Rissa and a member of the Wrath. I also loved learned about how Slade got his powers. That was it. The additional POVs saved this book.  

I am hoping the fifth and final book in this series will be as good as Gleam and that we will see some progress and not a recycled storyline.
