Gild
The fae abandoned this world to us. And the ones with power rule.
Gold. Gold floors, gold walls, gold furniture, gold clothes. In Highbell, in the castle built into the frozen mountains, everything is made of gold. Even me.
King Midas rescued me. Dug me out of the slums and placed me on a pedestal. I'm called his precious. His favored. I'm the woman he Gold-Touched to show everyone that I belong to him. To show how powerful he is. He gave me protection, and I gave him my heart. And even though I don't leave the confines of the palace, I'm safe.
Until war comes to the kingdom and a deal is struck.
Suddenly, my trust is broken. My love is challenged, and I realize that everything I thought I knew about Midas might be wrong. Because these bars I'm kept in, no matter how gilded, are still just a cage.
But the monsters on the other side might make me wish I'd never left.
From bestselling author Raven Kennedy comes the first book in the BookTok hit Plated Prisoner series, perfect for fans of Sarah J Maas and Jennifer L Armentrout. The myth of King Midas is reimagined in this compelling adult fantasy series that is as addictive as it is unexpected. With romance, intrigue, and danger, the gilded world of Orea will grip you from the very first word. Intended for mature listeners.
Newly recorded in duet-style narration by Lilly Drake and Anthony Palmini.

I honestly never thought this series would be for me, but I actually enjoyed this first book. So far, I really like Auren. I think she has the potential to turn into a really badass FMC and I'm excited for it. I also really like Rissa. I think she'll definitely become a character who I could potentially hold on a pedestal at some point. I'm sort of conflicted on Midas, so hopefully I'll end up deciding how I feel in the next book. I think this was a fantastic starter for sure! Overall, I give this 4/5 stars and I really enjoyed it!
