Glint (The Plated Prisoner Series Book 2)

Product Information

Though keep in mind that it's really slow and the first book was really more like a prequel to set up everything. Registered office address: Unit 34 Vulcan House Business Centre, Vulcan Road, Leicester, Leicestershire, LE5 3EF.

My main critique of GILD was that I felt there wasn’t a lot of movement, despite a lot of events happening, because the story spends large swaths of time in a couple of main locations.We also get more from Queen Malina, and although she’s rather unlikable, I enjoyed watching her grow stronger and get out from underneath Midas’ thumb. Thank you for supporting the top site for book series recaps, and we hope you continue to find it a useful resource! I can’t pinpoint what exactly it was that spoke to me, but I keep coming to the same conclusion that I’m a total snob when it comes to authors, books, and writing styles, and that I merely thought I was going to read this, obsess a little over a certain dark bad boy, and move on [as I always tend to do]. As Auren and the saddles are taken by Commander Rip and his army, she slowly starts to see how bad her situation with Midas truly was…like seriously, it’s like she’s woken up from a trance and finally see what a douche-canoe the king with the golden touch really is!

How is it that almost nothing happened in this book really, until maybe the last 50-100p and I still really loved it? Because if I show him my fear, if I reveal my weaknesses to this male, he’ll latch onto those threads and yank them all, unraveling me completely.In her eyes Midas can do no wrong she is blind to all of his many flaws she has set him on a pedestal so it was then heartbreaking to witness the blinkers Auren has been wearing for so long finally ripped from her eyes. Locked away in a castle on the snowy mountains in the Sixth Kingdom of Orea, I have never known freedom. Honestly, it makes sense why Auren is the way she is and it would be unrealistic to expect Auren to make a 180° turn that quickly, but just I coulnd't connect with Auren's character until the last 10% of the book maybe? Rip, the mysterious and intimidating Commander of the army, more directly incites Auren’s journey of self-awareness.

Wandering over this uncertain terrain, Seiler meditates hauntingly on the disembodied lives emerging from its midst – and Tobler's stark, elegant translations do a fine job of capturing the essential interplay of muscularity and vaporousness at its heart. She’s royalty born and bred and for the last however long she’s been married to Midas, she’s slowly been treated worse and worse by him. How did I look into his eyes every day and not see that when he looked back, he was devoted to the gleam of my skin rather than the love of my heart? This story focuses less on the plot and more on Auren’s emotional and mental struggles and growth, but I still loved it so much! I understand the comparisons to ACOTAR, however I thought Glint was trying too hard to be an ACOTAR knockoff.She felt more like her normal self in Glint, which is ironic because she spends almost all of the story as a prisoner of an enemy army. The first book laid some pretty decent foundational groundwork but there were a lot of things I didn't like. In reality I probably should have seen one of them coming, but I was so caught up in Auren’s self discovery journey that I remained oblivious. I don’t care WHO disagrees, I am ready to put up my dukes, because there is NO room for disagreements here, no lies detected. She had taken one look and her love for him had uncurled in her chest and had been growing there ever since.
