Gild

The Plated Prisoner Series, Book 1

De: Raven Kennedy

Narrado por: Anthony Palmini, Lilly Drake

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.

One word: trauma

After reading the reviews, I completed the book but it was hard to. It did pick up at the end but it wasn't easy.
The FMC became very annoying throughout ( by book three it just gets worse) To many internal conversations that would repeat the same issues and feeling.
Trigger warning of narcissistic behavior, manipulation, and the victim behind it all. There is a rape scene not too graphic but it's there.
I stopped the series at book three, it had a good story just couldn't handle the FMC.

Depressing but interesting

Definetly not a feel-good read and no spice to really compliment it. I think the series gets better but not the best start so far.

Umm wtf did I just listen to?

It’s not that it was horrible. I just am shocked at the crazy and don’t even know what’s going on. I haven’t been able to stop listening to it. But please tell me it gets not better but gets more hopeful….

Loved this!

Beautifully performed & written. Can’t wait to read and listen to the rest of the series!

Not for me. No humor, Repetitive phrases, weak characters, sexual content is always some sort of forced situation.

The entire book is the female main character justification for loving someone who controls her literally and sexually but at least he doesn’t hit her and that’s “the bright side” (I lost count how many times that phrase was used). The male characters are submissive or only interested in women for occupational or non consensual sex. There is very little dialogue between characters. It took until the last chapter for the female to even try to save herself and introduces a glimmer of hope that the next mysterious male character may be a positive strong character but…..I’m not sure I could endure an entire book again for one good chapter.
