About this deal
My main critique of GILD was that I felt there wasn’t a lot of movement, despite a lot of events happening, because the story spends large swaths of time in a couple of main locations.
Let me just start off by saying how much I loved the found family in thus just *chef's kiss* it was so precious. Auren is no longer in the hands of the brutal pirates, but now she is the prisoner of the Fourth Kingdom’s Army. All the grief, all the worry, I wrap it up like old yarn on a spool, tucking away every frayed strand. So far, this series has its claws so deeply clutched into me that I can scarcely breathe, that I can’t tell where I end and it begins.In reality I probably should have seen one of them coming, but I was so caught up in Auren’s self discovery journey that I remained oblivious. This second book surpassed its predecessor in terms of both my engagement and my enjoyment, It was an easy well-written and imaginative read and I literally raced through this at breakneck speed. Queen Malina decides she has had enough of King Midas’ shit and takes his kingdom for herself while he’s away trying to take over another.
The next book in this series is Gleam, and all my bookish friends who’ve read these books all say this one is the best; its like The Court of Mist and Fury of the popular series by Sarah J.As soon as I met Commander Rip in the first book, I knew I was going to love him, and to say I love him is a bit of an understatement. We also get the point of view of Queen Malina, the wife of Midas who is the blood of the Sixth Kingdom.
