Glow (The Plated Prisoner, 4)

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

"I was nothing but a road to Midas. A means to get to where he wanted to go, and I paved that path in gold."

My life has been made up of gilded lies. But death has been shaped from rot.

Like a phoenix caught fire, I will need to rise from the ashes and learn to wield my own power. Because my wings may have been clipped, but I am not in a cage, and I'm finally free to fly from the frozen kingdoms I've been kept in.

Yet the world doesn't want to let me.

That's the thing when you turn against a king--everyone else turns against you.

Good thing I have a different king in my corner.

But even with the dark threat of Sladea Ravinger, the other monarchs are coming for me.

So I will fight for him and he will kill for me, and if we need to become the villains, then so be it.

Because so long as I live in this world, I won't be used again.

This really dragged, and while I appreciate all the extra time we got to spend with Dom Daddy Slade (and his dirty, dirty mouth), most of the extra content didn’t add anything beneficial to the plot. For example, the secondary, out of the blue, romance plot - totally unnecessary filler. On the other hand, I appreciate the growth that Auren is getting to experience through this series.

Like the previous books, this too ends on a cliffhanger, but I feel I won’t be waiting with bated breath for its release. Will I read book 5? Probably. But I won’t be itching for it.

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

I liked this book because there was a lot of info that we find out... but I also hated this book because of the uncertainty and lack of confidence Auren had in herself. Once the "action" started happening again it, it was over so quickly. But I am eager to see what happens next!

Love, love, love! It was fun to hear more of Slade’s story and hear his point of view. You’re on a journey With Auren from book one, mentally and physically. I don’t want to give away anything away but this book was immensely satisfying in that journey. And, how this one ended!? Ahhh! I can’t wait for the 5th book!
