THE TIKTOK FANTASY SENSATION THAT'S SOLD OVER HALF A MILLION COPIES, PERFECT FOR FANS OF SARAH J. MAAS AND JENNIFER L. ARMENTROUT
'It's the arrogance of men to think so little of women. And it'll be their downfall too'
Locked away in a castle on the snowy mountains in the Sixth Kingdom of Orea, I have never known freedom.
No one can get in or out. Apart from him.
King Midas, who rescued me from the streets. Who gave me food, shelter, and his heart. Who I promised to love forever.
But when political upheaval sees me sent across kingdoms to a future I no longer understand, everything I thought I knew about King Midas is shattered . . .
The world has only ever heard his story.
Now it's time to hear mine.

Genre Betrayal
This book is the worst book of it’s kind I have ever had the misfortune to read/listen to. It is romantic fantasy click bait with the most horrific attempt at a lead character.
The first person approach to the writing was a huge mistake for the author given that the tone of the protagonists voice is insipid, dumb and really pathetic. There is nothing strong or even remotely intelligent about this female lead character.
Each book doesn’t have an ending- the story cuts off at least one chapter too short, so if you go right through hoping that there might be some kind of transformation, you will be deeply disappointed every time. I am frustrated with myself for reading the first 2-3 books as they doesn’t get any better.
The handling of graphic sexual assault is also as basic as the writing which leaves the experience of the reader feeling unbalanced and unsafe.
