All the rest of this is major spoilers. I didn’t like how it started with an *rgy, and Auren is being forced to watch from her cage… but it was very confusing how she felt about it. Seemed like she didn’t like it, then it seemed like she did, but then it seemed like she didn’t because she wished to participate… confusing. But, somehow we are supposed to believe that King Midas loves the MC Auren… no. The whole concept of the “saddles” …barf. Then, oh Midas has a wife an hour and a half in that we haven’t heard about till this point. So not only is he massively sleeping around in front of the person that loves him and that he supposedly loves, but he also has a wife that is completely fine with him stepping out and even “purchased” him some of his “saddles” …again barf. And then left and right Auren is about to be r*ped by some gross man… why. Then, Auren watched another woman get r*ped when she could have stopped it the whole time and only stops it when that man is about to come for her… like wtf?!
If I continue the series, which right now doesn't seem promising, it will only be for Rip.

“Why am I so cursed to endure the greed of men? Is it simply the gild of my skin? Or is it something more, something deeper […]”
“Rissa, who would’ve performed and taken everything he threw at her like a professional, because that’s how strong she is.”
“But memory and time aren’t friends […] always losing one as you go with the other.”

Snow pirates are bastards and if the other two side characters with personalities end up dying too I shall revolt.
The ribbons are cool and Midas seems an impulsive, ruthless dick.
Double cliffhanger ending
Pretty dark
Still gunna read book two though
