It is only when writing this review that I realise that the majority of the book took place within the Fourth army. I did enjoy the new characters that we got introduced to and that Auren seems to grow a bit in this book and by the end we can see who she may become through out the rest of the series.
I think I preferred the camp life compared to the previous setting of the palace and the travelling. It gives you a chance to settle in a bit more and get to know the characters that I have no doubt will keep coming up in the series.
I was also surprised that we got chapters from Queen Malina POV. I'm not sure how I feel about her. I am kind of invested to see what she can do but I also feel like her dislike for Auren is very superficial, but I'm here to see if there is character growth for her throughout the series or if she just becomes a one dimensional villain for the plot.

Auren’s Stockholm Syndrome is still strong, but the growth I thought I saw coming at the end of book one is already happening and I’m here for it. I had several theories proved right, but I’m not mad about it. One of them, the author had me second guessing myself! Excited to move on to the next book!

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.
