Ok, didn’t see the twist coming- and it’s a good one, clever.
So, now I’m thinking of Aurens history and why it seems like she was hiding from people (men specifically) has she always been gifted with the gold touch and people tried to kidnap her, use her etc when she was in the slums?
Did Midas find her, protect her, then promise to help her in exchange for her gift and to ascend the throne?

You get very little of the friendship that blooms between Auren and Sail, but their friendship is honest, raw, and sweet. So I did tear up at page 273 because I felt so sad for the both of them

It’s been really easy to follow, the story is fast-ish paced, which I like- it’s not taking forever to get to a point and there’s more character history and depth coming now as well

Hit the ground running from page 1 on putting spice out there.
It quickly builds to a story line and gives good insight to history
