It’s much better than the first book. Still not the best. Poor copy of ACOTAR series to be honest

rutabaga02's review against another edition

adventurous dark funny mysterious tense medium-paced

3.75

Was much better than the first book which gave us absolutely nothing. Finally got some actual romance and action. Not really sure why the first book was necessary, let alone separate in the first place.

ALSO: There were literally more r*pe scenes than there were cute romantic moments. And the cute little main character never gets harmed because of course.  


*SPOILER ALERT*

Also I don't know if this will be explained in the next book yet, but why did Midas see King Rot and Rip in the same room, like actively looked between them in a sentence ("I look between him and his commander." pg. 437), if they are the same person? Is this a plot hole or will it be explained later? Did King Rot lie about being Rip to trick Auren or something? I really do not know. I suppose I will find out. However, Rip being King Rot was predictable but I still lost it at the plot twist.

This is book 2 of the Gild series. Auren, the saddles, and the guards have been taken by the 4th kingdoms army. They are making their way to the 5th kingdom still to meet with Midas and King Rot. 

Auren learns to look more at her self as a powerful person. She has trusted Midas for a decade to keep her safe because he did when she was down on her luck. She is seeing “cracks” in their relationship and she is analyzing that internally. 

Auren is amazing and watching her get more control of her powers is amazing. (Her being the real “Midas.) Rip is King Ravinger!!!!!!!!!!!!</spoiler
