'I don't choose him. Not anymore. I'm choosing me.'

I was told that being confined was to keep the bad out . . . Until I realized it was about keeping me in.

Midas made me forbidden and weak. Little did he know that I would find my wings and voice - which sings now.

After living amongst the terrifying army of Fourth Kingdom, I find myself, once again, in strange lands and a kingdom surrounded by liars.

But something has ignited within me. Something dark. Something angry.

Then comes King Ravinger.

And the last thing I wanted was my heart to be torn.

Can I really fall in love when the cities around me threaten to crumble and my fate hangs in the balance?

One thing is for sure, I won't be caught in a cage again.

No, this time, it'll be me setting the trap.

Tropes/themes:

1. Dark and angsty
2. Plot and politics
3. Romance and smut
4. Multiple POVs
5. World-building

Reviews

[Ailyn Henbane]

So, I really enjoy this series. Split POVs are one my personal favorite not-first-person-but-you-get-that-insight writing angles. I do wish we saw more glimpses into the world around Auren and Slade, but ultimately the narrative is well moved on without them. The switch could have been used to speed up some of the slower sections.

The action was well built up. (show spoiler)[The entire book I was waiting for Auren to just declare she was done, to pick up her toys and leave. What happened was horrifying and satisfying in equal measure. I look forward to getting Glow to find out what Auren and Slade will do now. ] (hide spoiler)
