If someone asks you for the definition of a filler book, please show them this book.

Don't get me wrong, I really enjoyed reading this! But at some point I looked down, saw that I was on page 370 and still — almost nothing had happened.

There's some character and relationship development and I did enjoy reading about the soldiers and their time at camp but really, all of that could've been shortened.

We do get loads of fun reveals at the end of the book though, one of them I really didn't expect. Will continue reading this series but really, don't expect too much plot from this installment (and I'm saying this as someone who's always characters > plot).

Third time reading this book but first time listening to the audiobook and honestly I love it even more, and I didn't think that was possible.

This one was a bit better than the first, and I'm still intrigued enough to continue, but I don't think this series overall is the best ever, it's just middle of the road of enjoyment for me!

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

This book is still based on Auren. She was locked away in a castle on the snowy mountains on the Sixth Kingdom of Orea, and she had never known freedom. She still doesn’t know freedom. This book picks up right where the last one ended, Auren is prisoner of Fourth Kingdom’s army and she is not sure how she is going to get out of this one alive. They're marching into battle, and she is the bargaining chip that will either douse the fire or spark a war. At the heart of Auren’s fear there is Commander Rip, who is known for his brutality on the battlefield, his viciousness is unkempt. But Auren knows the truth about him – he is Fae, like her. The ones who nearly destroyed Orea, wiping out Seventh Kingdom in the process. Rip has power sizzling beneath this his skin and spikes down his spine. Auren might be out of her cage, but she isn’t free. In the game of kings and armies, she is the gilded pawn.  

 
Before I say what I like, please check trigger warnings for this book – as this is brutal. 

 
This book gives ACOTAR vibes, but what ACOTAR did that this book didn’t do was world building. It did it better in this book than the last book I will say that. The book is an easy read and you do get sucked into the storyline and the drama and the tension. I think this book was much better because of Rip. He gives me Rhysand vibes whilst Midas is like the whiny Tamlin. I can see the compassions quite easily, expect Rip is 1000% more scary than Rhysand. I love the fact that Auren stood up for herself in this book and was like do one, I'm not getting back into this cage. I would have loved to learn more about the Queen’s plans but I'm assuming we will learn more in the next book. The cliff hanger at the end as well made me want to throw the book against a wall.
