Gold Book 5 of the Plated Prisoner Series written by Raven Kennedy | A Review of my favorite read in 2024 so far.
I am having a mixed feeling right now. I just finished reading this 5th book in the series and I am……well, I don’t know what I feel. This book was an emotional rollercoaster. It made me feel things…..things I have long forgotten….things people write books about…..I am rambling again but this is my mental state at this point….this is all due to Raven Kennedy and her books.
I found this book series from booktok last year. It was not very popular but someone recommended reading it and when I read the series……omg 🤌🤌. The book is a retelling of King Midas and his golden touch but there is a twist in this book…..King Midas is a fraud in this book and he is keeping a girl prisoner who has the golden touch. Here is the synopsis;
“Find me in another life. Find me in them all.”
Every end is also a beginning.
I thought I was going to die, and would have if it weren’t for Slade. The only way he could save me was to open a rip between worlds. The only way for me to save myself was to go through it.
Sometimes, fleeing one dangerous place just brings you to another.
Annwyn.
The realm of the fae.
There is magic and beauty here, though around every corner, threats lurk.
But I’m a threat too.
I’m not a girl in a gilded cage anymore, and no one is going to stop me from finding my way back to Slade.
But returning home means facing danger and secrets. So I have to burn bright enough to light my own way…
Or else I might be swallowed by the dark.

MY REVIEW
The book has so many iconic moments that I was waiting for a long time and these moments are amazingly written. There are also introductions of many new characters and I fell in love with all of them.
So in the last book, Auren was passed through the rip (portal to Fae Realm), and now she is in Annwyn, and throughout the whole book Auren and Rip are struggling to go to each other but failing epically. I am sad and disappointed that his book doesn’t have Slade and Auren moments but there are other iconic moments that were much needed and appreciated. Here are some of those;
