In this one, the third installment, we see the revealing of the true characters of the monarchs, and to be honest, they’ll give you the ick. Queen Malina gives off major “mean girl” vibes, I was so rooting for her to be the savior, while Midas’ “favour” definitely falls.

The build up to the scene we were all waiting for was everything, (iykyk) but the dirty talk made me cringe. 😬 My only complaint about this book. 

Gleam saw Auren really unleash the full extent of her powers, it was timely, intense & beautiful. She took back her power in the most fitting, & yet horrific way.
