Okay there was so much growing in this book for Auren. I'm so glad that she found out she is able to control her powers during the day, and that she is also kind of able to use them at night even if she isn't able to actually create gold at night just control it. 
Also I love how sassy she has gotten in the time out of Midas' control. I also love how she not only interacts with Slade but also his captains. Her and Lu are great.
Also i hate that that little bitch man stole Auren and took her to the conflux against her will. He is such a fake bitch, acting all nice to Auren and then pulling this shit. Especially behind Slades back? Big mistake. I hope he dies in the crowd of people that Slade rotted. 
Also Slade ripping open another opening into Annwyn that was fucking crazy. But then he also has "lost" his well of power and the forst rip has closed.... Hopefully all the people in deadwell aren't dead and are just back in Annwyn. I don't think my heart could take it if that's the case. I hope Slade finds a way to get to our girl Auren because I will fucking be gutted if we don't get a reunion. 
Also I fucking knew that there was some shady shit going on with the twins and that traveler dude. I fucking knew it. And that bitch fucking deserves whatever happens to her, fucking Midas and his wife will both fucking get what they deserve for being greedy stingy people. One down and hopefully the other goes down in the next book. 
Also I hope that the bitch queen of third gets what she deserves as well.

The world building a story depth in this book was phenomenal. Every chapter of this book was crucial to the story line, it just made the world feel more real and as if I was experiencing it. Slade fucking Ravinger? Sign me up🥵. There was the perfect mix of past and present to truly make us understand what Auren, Slade, and even Ryatt have been through to become who and what they all are today. I have some hunches as to where this storyline is going but I’m not sure if I’m right. Also curious to see where Queen Malina will lay in the rest of the series.

Not gonna lie, most of this book felt like filler. I think it was necessary filler, though; Slade’s backstory and Auren’s healing journey—physically and emotionally. It did drag a bit until the last , like, 5% then: BOOM! Everything happens real quick and in a hurry. Kinda not looking forward to all of the angst I predict Book 5 will bring, but also excited to see what happens next.

I really liked this book. It was nice to see Slade and Auren grow closer and see their relationship evolve. The ending of this book had me gasping, crying, clutching my pearls. It was nice to see more of Slade’s past and more of the world. Auren has been through so much and although she occasionally slips on her journey she is so resilient. The relationship between Slade and Ryatt is also complex and interesting. There are lots of great written characters

and a lot to happen in the impending war.

I’m really interested to see where the series goes from here but I’m invested
