4.0

This book felt like a big prequel. Luckily, I’ve read that the series gets better. (Edit after reading the next three books… each one gets better and better! I loved Gleam and Glow and can’t wait for Gold!) I didn’t necessarily dislike it, but there was almost no plot and it felt more like establishing Auren’s world and her place in it plus showing when she snapped and decided to make a change. 

Another edit after finishing the series (so far) is that I looked up how spicy this book is before reading it and decided to read it based on reviews, but I wish I would have known that later in the series, it gets significantly spicier. 

Rape is mentioned a lot in this book.
