Glint (The Plated Prisoner, 2)

From internationally bestselling author and TikTok phenom Raven Kennedy comes the second book in a stunning fantasy series inspired by the myth of King Midas, perfect for fans of Sarah J Maas and Jennifer L Armentrout.

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?

This series has been okay. I have heard that after book 3 the series comes to life. I will say if I could have changed a few things would have put the last quarter of the first book and the middle to end of this book all as one. I think this may have been the author’s first series and I wish I loved it more as it seems like an interesting story, but it has been a bit difficult to get through. Fingers crossed for the next book.

Better than Gild (though that’s not saying much) and good enough that I’m invested in the story. The bones are there for some enthralling storytelling, but something is just missing the mark for me.

Book 1: Gild - ⭐⭐
Book 2: Glint - ⭐⭐⭐
Book 3: Gleam - ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Book 4: Glow - ⭐⭐⭐
Book 5: Gold - TBD

This was an improvement to the first book but they are still overly long without much action. The reveals are done well but this and the first book should have been cut down and made into 1 book. There’s a lot of similarity to ACOTAR (not just because it’s the same actor) but the execution never lands. The duet narration is at least a blessing. I think the acting is well done particularly because Lilly drake annoys the hell out of me as the haughty queen, which is spot on.
