I have to say, I loved it :p I am a huge fan of A Court of Mist and Fury, so I did not mind the similarities to this book at all. Maas and these become more visible in book two. I didn’t realise it before, but there are some similarities to be found between this series and the A Court of Thorns and Roses Series by Sarah J. Nevertheless, these didn’t really bother me or prevented me from connecting to the plot.įour out of five gemstones Book 2: Glint Summary & Evaluation Attention: Spoilers!

They reject each other, they hurry in opposite directions, pulling the binding taut between them, threatening to snap. But I guess we’ll find out!īut memory and time aren’t friends. At the moment, it’s not yet clear to me what the purpose is of having Auren been turned golden, except to make her (far too easily) recognizable to enemies and to illustrate what kind of a man Midas is.

This series is a loose retelling of the King Midas myth. However, I do not feel that this is a problem seeing that the book opens with a trigger warning note and the characters who behave as such are in no way glorified. Is there sexual violence and misogyny in this book? Yes, heaps of it. I’m not easily shocked, so you won’t hear the same rant from me as you’ll read elsewhere. I really liked this first part of the Plated Prison Series. Until war arrives on the borders of the kingdom and a dangerous deal is struck with another king. Nevertheless, her trust in king Midas is without question. But even a golden cage is still a cage, so Auren soon starts to dream of a life outside of the palace. When this talent earns him the hand of the crown princess, he decides to take Auren with him to the palace, turning her golden and naming her his favourite concubine. Gild tells the story of Auren, an orphan girl who is rescued from a violent life by a young man with the remarkable ability to turn anything he touches into solid gold.
