Known for his brutality on the battlefield, his viciousness is unsurpassed. They’re marching to battle, and I’m the bargaining chip that will either douse the fire or spark a war.Īt the heart of my fear, my worry, there’s him-Commander Rip. 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. Midas Commander Rip IS King Rot? I spent the whole book SURE of it, stumbled a little bit when Commander Rip and King Rot were in the same room (but held on to the small details that made me think Rip was a decoy), but the confirmation at the very end? I did like that.For ten years, I’ve lived in a gilded cage inside King Midas’s golden castle.
So getting confirmation on that was pretty cool. Plus, she could feel the power emanating from Commander Rip, much more than the humans around her. I mean, she did turn the captain to gold, and those ribbons. Some spoilery content -> After the first book, I was sure that Auren was most likely fae. Are some things predictable? Of course! The hints given to us throughout the story are pretty clear. Just like the first book, it still is a very original, thought out story. I was glad to give this series another chance though. And I'm saying that not hating on the first book, but it just didn't draw me in like I hoped. When things come to a head, who will Auren side with - the King who rescued her, and protected her, or the Commander who brings out the real Auren? And what deep, devastating secrets will come out in the end?
As Auren tries to come to terms with the conflicting feelings she has for Commander Rip, and the fractures of trust she has in her King, she is also encouraged by those who are meant to be her enemy to step out of the role as the gilded prisoner, and be herself. And Commander Rip, named for his affinity for ripping the heads off his enemies - he isn't a monster either. All she wants is to get back to her beloved King, but as time trickles by, Auren learns more about the fourth kingdom's army, and they aren't the monsters she was told about. Glint is the second book in Raven Kennedy's The Plated Prisoner series, and while having a few different POV's, mostly centers on Auren, King Midas's favored saddle, the one he has gold-touched, as she navigates being prisoner to the fourth kingdom.
