I had seen this book all over booktok so I decided to take the leap and try it out. I‘m just getting into fantasy novels so I‘m figuring out what I enjoy. I was excited that my local library had a copy on the shelf. I did really enjoy this book. It kept me engaged and I wanted to find out what was going to happen next. I definitely plan to read the rest of the series.

This was a very quick read. The plot is a cool concept, King Midas makes his favorite girl gold and keeps her locked in a cage.
Be warned there is abuse against women and is very degrading. The kind calls them his saddles.
This book does not have too much going on, but you can tell it is just starting the storyline for the next books in the series.
I can't wait to read more about Commander Rip and the Kimg of Rot.

Thrilling writing with unique worldbuilding though I wished for more details. The book felt like a long prologue and served to foreshadow events in the later books. Very emotional read! There are many degrading and shocking scenes, watch out for heavy triggers, especially violence and abuse against women. The author did an amazing job on describing the FMC's feelings and her traumas.

If you are looking for a book full of heavy pornographic content starting on page 1 and women who are disrespected by men and who also don't respect themselves...look no further. This is that book. Personally, I was disgusted by it.

Linear I'm on book three. It actually has a reason and makes a point. I went into this not knowing what it was, and was a bit shocked how it started too. But it really does round out its point over the books. 11mo
idealityandme @Linear i'm sure it did have reasons within the story, but just for myself I have a zero tolerance for graphic pornography in literature. I prefer a book to approach heavy and also sexual topics in a more tasteful manner - and I admire writers who can pull it off:) so this one just wasn't for me! It gave me a lingering and shady ick. 11mo

I truly don‘t know how to feel at the end of this. It was so slow to get going and the end was JUST enough to get me curious enough to move onto the next. It‘s a quick read so it has that going for it. But idk. Am I the only one here who didn‘t quite like it but still has their interest peaked?

Linear Love the art. I've kinda been picturing her like the gold painted lady from the mummy 11mo
HollyBahling @Linear holy cow I didn‘t realize I did the same thing until you just said that. I need to rewatch The Mummy now! 11mo

So I popped into my local bookstore before snow/sleet-aggedon for some reads and found the first three books in print. I was not sure if I‘d like this one but I‘ve been inhaling these books! A take on King Midas and it‘s a page turner!

I read this book in 2 days. I knew it was popular but I didn't exactly know what it was about. I really liked it. Yes, there are TW to consider. And the idea of a man locking up a woman in a cage and barely spending time with her but still being his "favored" is messed up! But the action in this book, characters, and imagery is top notch. Looking forward to the rest of this series.
