Glow is the third book in the Plated Prisoner series. Gild is the first book in a fantasy romance series following a girl named Auren who is gold touched. She has lived in a cage in a palace with King Midas for what feels like her whole life but she doesn't mind. She's in love with Midas and would do anything for him. But when different plots start to come to light and Auren is let out of her cage for the first time, she finds that everything is not as it seems.
I really loved this fantasy romance series so much! The strength of this book series is in its characters and Raven Kennedy really leans into that. I loved seeing Auren and Slade growing as characters. One of my favorite parts of this book was reading Slade's past and learning more about his past growing up. I really loved the way this book was split between those two perspectives plus the other perspectives in this.
When I wasn't reading this book, I was thinking about it and wondering where it was going to go next. I really love how this book leans into the political elements of the story and how we learn even more as the series goes on. This book made me so excited for Gold and I cannot wait to read the last book when it is out.
