Glint is the perfect example of how, sometimes, sequels are better than the first installment!

It picks up where Gild left off and delivers what I thought was lacking so far: a stronger political intrigue, a developing/potential enemies-to-lovers romance, morally grey characters, more detailed world-building, some plot twists/revelations and the beginning of what appears to be a powerful growth/healing journey for the main character.

The writing is really good, it pulls you in the story and, if you're like me, you struggle to put the book down. Plus, there are some really good quotes/beautiful words to take away.

Auren as a character might just be a favourite of mine. Her journey, self-discovery, emancipation and overall development is something I was very much looking forward because she bloody deserves it! Seeing her slowly come to the realisation that she has been treated unfairly and that the love she thought she was receiving isn't love after at all was incredibly powerful! I couldn't help but feel for her as the action unfolds and she starts comprehending just how badly she has been lied to, manipulated and abused.

I loved the addition of Commander Rip! (obviously?) I really thoroughly enjoyed his interactions with Auren! The way he keeps pushing her, teasing her, goading her into showing her true personality - the one she's had to hide for years. Bonus point for all the characters part of his army, his Wrath.

I'd say this is pretty slow paced, apart from the end. But we learn so much about the world of Orea and the characters that it doesn't feel that slow when reading? The "cliffhanger" at the end was a bit predictable but! it was still very enjoyable.

this book was truly exceptional! i loved every page, i loved the characters, the story, the incredible plot twists! i still can't find the words to express how much i love this book. and rip..this man, i can't, i love him so much! and fuck midas, he is the most horrible person i have ever read about. auren's character development was great and her inner conflict is so relatable that one cannot really be mad at her for having it. i also found the storyline revolving around queen malina quite interesting and am looking forward to further happenings.
