I enjoyed the first book in this, but this one was even better. Does that have anything to do with my love of morally gray fae males? 100% yes 😏 I consumed this book in one sitting. (Felt kind of bad because I binged this when book club wasn’t supposed to start it yet, but things escalated very quickly, sorry girls. 😅)
I still have so many questions, but a lot were answered at the same time. And Auren is starting to wake up and gain strength and I’m here for it. Especially there at the end. I was so proud of her and was screaming, “YESSSSS!”
The main plot twist is a little easy to guess, but it’s executed well. This series just keeps getting better and I’m loving it. The writing is phenomenal, the inner dialogue is still cracking me up, and the character growth is solid. I have a feeling I’m going to enjoy the third book even more than the first two.
Grade: A
Summary:
“You want to make your life easier? Then be the caged bird that you are and sing.”
For ten years, I’ve lived in a gilded cage inside King Midas’s golden castle. But one night changed everything.
Now I’m here, a prisoner of Fourth Kingdom’s army, and I’m not sure if I’m going to make it out of this in one piece. They’re marching to battle, and I’m the bargaining chip that will either douse the fire or spark a war.
At the heart of my fear, my worry, there’s him—Commander Rip.
Known for his brutality on the battlefield, his viciousness is unsurpassed. But I know the truth about what he is.
Fae.
The betrayers. The murderers. The ones who nearly destroyed Orea, wiping out Seventh Kingdom in the process. Rip has power sizzling beneath this skin and glinting spikes down his spine. But his eyes—his eyes are the most compelling of all.
When he turns those black eyes on me, I feel captive for an entirely different reason. I may be out of my cage, but I’m not free, not even close.
In the game of kings and armies, I’m the gilded pawn. The question is, can I out maneuver them?
