Thank you to Raven Kennedy and The Nerd Fam for an arc of this highly anticipated book!

I was left heartbroken and in tears after reading Glow and was more than ready to dive into this story again. I want to start out by saying, that I am glad Raven decided not to make this the last book of the series and I know the last book is gonna be amazing.

Gold begins right where we left off in Glow, with Auren going into the rift. A lot of series make a small jump between books, but I am glad this felt like I was just continuing the next chapter.

I LOVED Auren in this book! I have loved her through the others as well, but seeing her on a journey alone makes me proud. She has come so far from the first book.

Slade made my heart break a thousand times in this. I literally had tears in my eyes through every one of his chapters. The loss of Auren has made him lose it. We finally see him as the villain he is and that he would do ANYTHING for Auren. And I am obsessed.

I did however not like that Queen Malina had that many chapters, and honestly I skimmed through them.

The ending left me FURIOUS!!!!! Damn, I hate the cliffhangers in this series. I am gonna go cry myself to sleep now and stay there until the next book comes out.
