Summary

Brought to you by Penguin.

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.

**Content warning: sexual violence**

Slow, but worthy

I agree with other reviewers about the slow beginning and annoying heroine. But I will keep listening as I heard about her character growth. The story definitely has a potential.
And the end was very thrilling! 😍
P.S. there are some triggers like rape, so be aware.

A brilliant fantasy story

What a great narrator - I switched it on thinking it would be yet another American narrator - imagine my surprise when the narrator was British and was also fantastic. Well done. The story is excellent and the narrator helps sweep you along and engross you. I am an avid audible listener and this is one of the best narrated books I’ve listened to

Very slow

I enjoyed the last few chapters and the first few ones but the rest of it was so slow and painful to get through. The only thing keeping me going was the amazing narrator. Hopefully the next book will be better.

Great

I understand the hype. So glad I finally decided to read this. It was entertaining, unique and twisted. The narrator did a great job 👌🏾

Good story but horrible narrator

I’ve heard such amazing things about this series and I was excited to start it but the narrator nearly made me give up loads of times. The voice she puts on for Auren is so child like and it’s so off putting because of the sexual nature of the book. She makes it so hard not to imagine young girl not the woman Auren is supposed to be. Think I’ll have to abandon the audiobooks as she is the main narrator for the series.

it was...okay

it's okay, I didn't really "grab" me. I am hard to please as I love alot of "build upto a plot and also a "build up" to the steamy bits.. and I found this was a little.. shallow. not the content mind. content was very explicit...however I feel more "foreplay of story building " was needed... I couldn't quite dive into it as I have with others. again..I'm hard to please.
it may of been different perhaps with a different narrator... the tempo and pace of the voice would have been better suited for a comedy story I feel.. it was all very samey throughout every scene when going through different scenes regarding emotional expressions etc.. so that may have lost it for me. every line was spoken in a "matter of fact" tone...I need more range in contrasting scenes to get my mind engrossed. again..I'm a hard pleaser (if that's a word)
might not get the 2nd book.
