Glint: 2 (The Plated Prisoner Series)

Product Information

So I will fight for him and he will kill for me, and if we need to become the villains, then so be it. Maybe it's because I'm getting overloaded with all of the fae romances leading to multiple realms and someone who didn't know they were a Queen and now they have to war against other kingdoms...it's just not an original thematic element to use to carry on a series anymore. I'd like to see Auren & Slade's story come to an end and for the focus to shift to one of the other kingdoms we don't know much about and develop the world overall rather than dragging this current story out.

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? Reading The Plated Prisoner series is like standing on the coast on a foggy day and watching the fog bank withdraw and reveal the beauty of the horizon. Your worlds starts small, but you know there is something more out there and the characters slowly come to realize it as well. It’s a beautiful unveiling that rewards the patient and dedicated.

You are gorgeous, and I want nothing more than to watch my cum flood your mouth, but I want to sink myself inside your pussy even more.” (Nothing more, but something more, sure, dude)

We get 3 chapters for Queen Malina whose entire plotline seems to be the most important one going into Gold. 3 plus the epilogue showing what I stated in the previous sentence. She's the one building the road for an entire book and she gets 4 chapters out of 66 (if we include the epilogue), that equals 6% for someone who was the most relevant for the plot going out of Glow? Wow. But - it gets worse.

PS: His father can rot in hell. I know he will show up in the next book, and I hope Slade makes him pay! It is very difficult to give a thorough review without giving spoilers so I’m just going to leave a few vague points and quotes. I can’t wait to see the rest of you. When you let it go, when you finally let that out, your fury is going to light up the spirit you’ve shadowed.” He looks like someone who’s won, boasting in superiority. “I hope you burn so bright that you scorch your Golden King down to ash.” Leading the army is Commander Rip, a notorious warrior whose name is whispered in taverns and street corners all over the six kingdoms. Now, the negatives: (and I am about to list a lot of them, but keep in mind the book still got 3 stars overall despite these things)

Her smile breaks through like the sunlight above us. “The song of home,” she says. “The sun is singing the song of home.” I was looking forward to Auren's journey, especially knowing that she is a victim groomed to be nothing but a gilded prisoner who believed for so long that her golden cage is where she will always be safe. And she smiles, through the tears dried on her cheeks, through the glassiness of her eyes. The sight is so damn beautiful that it’s hard to breathe. The abuse came in shades of gray. Some were darker and more noticeable than others. Some, I probably haven’t even noticed yet. My healing from this isn’t going to happen overnight. But...I’m free now. Truly free.He rescued me when I was at my lowest, and because of that, I thought staying with him would keep me at my highest. But really, he’s trapped me in place and forced me to accept it all. If you insist on lying, at least be better at it.” He’s got it wrong there. I am fine, and I’m also excellent at lying. After all, I’ve been lying to myself for years. Pretty lies cover up a lot of ugly truths. I’m certainly in the minority when it comes this novel because I found Glint to be boring and predictable.

In Highbell, people sometimes traveled for weeks just to look at me. Midas would let me stand beside him in the throne room as they gawked. But no matter how long I stood there on the pedestal for them to look, no one really saw me. If they did, they’d know I’m just a girl with jagged rips and pitted holes inside of her, with golden skin hiding a broken heart.

Customer reviews

Out of the three ground rules of any sexual encounter, no matter how kinky, Slade and Auren score a solid 0/3 for safe, sane and consensual play. Great.
