Emilia and her twin sister Vittoria are streghe - witches who live secretly among humans, avoiding notice and persecution. One night, Vittoria misses dinner service at the family's renowned Sicilian restaurant. Emilia soon finds the body of her beloved twin...desecrated beyond belief. Devastated, Emilia sets out to find her sister's killer and to seek vengeance at any cost - even if it means using dark magic that's been long forbidden. Then, Emilia meets Wrath, one of the Wicked-princes of Hell she has been warned against in tales since she was a child.

After the death of my mother and her Bonded, I was relieved to find my own Bonds. I was sure everything would be okay if I had them. It wasn’t. The fate of our people is in my hands, and I know we’re better off if I’m alone. After five years on the run, I’m caught and dragged back to face the men I ran away from. I thought I was doing the right thing. Now, I’m not so sure.

All of that changes the day the Veil shatters, unleashing the fae upon our world once again.

Twenty-year-old Violet Sorrengail was supposed to enter the Scribe Quadrant, living a quiet life among books and history. Now, the commanding general—also known as her tough-as-talons mother—has ordered Violet to join the hundreds of candidates striving to become the elite of Navarre: dragon riders. But when you’re smaller than everyone else and your body is brittle, death is only a heartbeat away...because dragons don’t bond to “fragile” humans. They incinerate them.

Publisher's Summary
By best-selling author Raven Kennedy, comes the first book in a stunning new fantasy series, perfect for fans of Sarah J. Maas and Jennifer L. Armentrout. 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.
The myth of King Midas reimagined. This compelling adult fantasy series is as addictive as it is unexpected. With romance, intrigue, and danger, the gilded world of Orea will grip you from the very first page.
Please note: This book contains explicit content and darker elements, including mature language, violence, and non-consensual sex. It is not intended for anyone under 18 years of age. This is book one in a series.

Stockholm syndrome
It was okay. Wasn’t very exciting. I hated the the relationship between the main character and the king, didn’t really feel the love or connection. She wasn’t giving badass woman and it shows. Meh.

Fun story - terrible listen
The book starts very spicy. I enjoyed the story overall.
I almost couldn't finish with the narrator. She uses the same dramatic tone of voice no matter the scene. She pronounces silent letters (sof-T-en) she didn't pronounce non-silent letters (nimly instead of nimbly. Also any mention of "his linggth" (length) made my skin crawl. I wish I had read this in paperback.

A complicated intro to a new world
The introduction to the world of Gild is very detailed and complicated, it doesn’t move the book series forward quickly.
We are introduced to a very unhealthy relationship between the main character and her love interest, king Midas. The reader is constantly questioning why we should care about him? This is just as the main character is starting to have the same doubts and questions about her entire existence.
We get some peeks into their relationship and their past. Generally, this book just tracks her mentally breaking away from what is an unhealthy relationship. It’s not overly exciting, this is not a romance novel. (See next book for the start of that)
It seems it could have been done in fewer books, but I still found myself very entertained and engaged. Wondering “what’s next” the whole time. The next book has more action and character development.
The performances are excellent!
I would suggest picking this up as (having read book 2) it’s building a good foundation for the future.

I Really Tried to Like This
Did I finish it? Yes.
Did I want to stop reading multiple times? Yes
Honestly the unnecessary brutality both verbally and physically towards the female characters killed it for me. It barely felt like escapism with the subject matter. And I'm not even sure what the plot was outside of that. It didn't get interesting until the last 3 or 4 chapters IMO.
The world building imagery was pretty decent but it really wasn't for me.

Good premise but slow and frustrating
I like the premise of this novel and some of the characters (including the main character) are interesting. However there is so much graphic sexual violence in this novel and I feel like many plot points could have been advanced without the threat or depiction of sexual violence and abuse. The main character is frustratingly passive for most of the book which makes some sense given that she is a prisoner but it seems that everything just happens to her rather than her having any agency at all. The plot is slow and pretty boring. The last few chapters are easily the best which sets up the other books in the series to be better than this one but they are not on audible and I’m hesitant to pay money for them given the first books issues. Two stars because it’s an interesting world & some good characters.

Horrible performance!
Although the writing is rather juvenile, containing repetitively misused words and far too much exposition, it’s the reader that really makes its painful experience. Do NOT waste your time listening to this. I’m reading the third book now and the writing does get a little better with each book (still very clumsy). The story itself is good, and with a competent editor this could have been elevated to a noteworthy series. If you can handle the writing, it’s a decent read - just don’t listen to the audible version!

Could be better
The beginning is very tedious and pretty boring. About halfway through the story picks up. I’m not sure if there are any characters I’m supposed to actually like. The narrator took a bit to get used to. Her “s” is very harsh sounding and I had to turn the volume down because the hissing at the end of every “s” hurt my ears. She also mispronounces a bunch of words which is pretty jarring and takes me out of the story.

I’m an audiobook lover who can’t keep listening to this narrator.
This story is all over Booktok and Bookstagram. It’s slow moving, but I’m giving it a chance. Nothing very exciting happens in this first book, and the story doesn’t get interesting until over halfway through. However, the first half is world building and plot heavy, so I get it. Going to continue the story and see if it gets better.
The narrator tho?
Holy guacamole is this narrator bad. I think they’d be really good for memoir-type stories, but they read this story like they’re reading from a horny teleprompter.
They constantly get character’s confused, which results in a lack of consistency and difficulty following the dialogue. They also make every man automatically angry, even when the men aren’t at all angry.
The female characters are an odd mix of sultry and bland. Either they’re unnecessarily aroused-sounding, or they’re robotic.
Truly am sad to be giving up listening to this series bc I love love love audiobooks. But this narrator is legitimately ruining the story for me.

I am here for the story
The story opened with exciting activities. I was looking for a fantasy story with just the right amount of spiciness. The unfortunate part of this story is the narrator. She kind of rushes through the reading and the tone is on the boring side, which sucks because the story is not boring.

Refreshing !!!
Very well done! Loved the rhythmic fluidity of the Narrator’s voice, somewhat melodic. I enjoyed how she brought color and depth to the words and overall story…I could not stop listening
Very enjoyable !

Audio makes the story more interesting
When I had to read this before the audiobook came out I found this to be a tedious , with the audio, the woman makes the story way more interesting with her voice . Nice

so good!
This series is literally the best! I can't wait for all the books to be released in audio format as well. I will collect them all in all formats :)
