This is absolutely my favorite book in the series, it wrenches my heart out every fucking time. Not a big fan of the narrators' performances in this one- I don't think Blake Lockhart reads women's voices well, so that took me out of the smut, and Zara Eden's inflection and pronunciation choices were strange at best. Narration I'd probably give a 3.75/5

This is book three of the glint series. Auren does a lot of growing in this book. She is seeing her value and seeing that she needs to save herself. Auren is reunited with Midas and she start to see him for who he truly is. This book is long but worth it. Ends on another cliffhanger. 

Spoiler

Auren falls more in love with Slade. She gets to see both sides of him. Auren learns to use her gold power even when it is not day time. Slade has to rot her to save her.

The spice makes it worth it. Without the spice it would have been unbearable. I enjoyed the Wrath, if they had been more than supporting characters it may have helped the book. Ultimately the twist did catch me off guard, but I wonder what Glow will be about.
