For starters: please look up trigger warnings before reading!!
This book is definitely not for me. I knew it was a dark fantasy but there was just too much for me to enjoy the book & I felt a very similar story could’ve been told with outrape scenes and graphic commentary to the level of what was included. Not to mention that Auren became a saddle to Midas at 15 & he was 22? And he keeps her in a cage??? Again, just definitely not the book for me, the sexual assault, minor/adult relationship, confinement & rape scenes were too much for me to want to continue on even though I am curious to what ends up happening.
