But what a pretty prison it is.” I don’t know why it took me so long to start this series… but I hate myself for waiting! I consumed this book. One day. That’s all it took for this series to take over my life. I struggled to put this book down. Now I know some people have issues with the language of the book and some of the characters but like you can quickly see how it’s all intentional. This book started off unexpectedly but it definitely started off with a bang. wink wink I cannot think of anything I disliked about this book. I mean other than Midas… Auren is beautifully written. I absolutely adore her. She’s funny. And honestly I can forgive her for her serious Stockholm because she’s convinced herself that he saved her from the world. I will admit that at one point I forgot this was a fantasy because it was this perfect level of world building that I didn’t feel overwhelmed with the fantasy dynamic. I loved the women in this book Auren and Malina are such amazing characters. I think they have very different strengths but are hindered because it’s a males world. I gotta say this book put me through the emotional wringer… it was so fascinating. Quick read. First the book seems to be about the life of royals and the drama it brings. But towards the end it goes randomly in a strong fantasy direction and at the end I didn't know what the book wants to be. Some elements remind me of "A song of ice and fire", but it the end its an endless violation and objectification of women. For me personally not the kind of vibe I like, but at least it has a nice cliffhanger at the end. I think I won't read the next part. This is just terrible. Quite a few people wrote that the first one is bad and that it gets better later on and the average rating also seems to suggest this. And I can see where they are coming from. The first book doesn't even introduce the male lead yet so it makes sense that many people might be unsatisfied after just the first book. But beyond the actual romantic interest being introduced the second book is not in any way better. There is just so much wrong with this book and at the same time, it is so popular as well that I don't think this deserves the effort required by me to peel apart all the layers of terribleness here. There are almost certainly a lot of far more eloquent and better-structured reviews that explain what is wrong with this series already. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

"Gold. Gold floors, gold walls, gold furniture, gold clothes. In Highbell, in the castle built into the frozen mountains, everything is made of gold. Even me. King Midas rescued me. Dug me out of the slums and placed me on a pedestal. I'm called his precious. His favored. I'm the woman he Gold-Touched to show everyone that I belong to him. To show how powerful he is. He gave me protection, and I gave him my heart. And even though I don't leave the confines of the palace, I'm safe. Until war comes to the kingdom and a deal is struck. Suddenly, my trust is broken. My love is challenged. And I realize that everything I thought I knew about Midas might be wrong. Because these bars I'm kept in, no matter how gilded, are still just a cage. But the monsters on the other side might make me wish I'd never left." -- Amazon. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
