THE TIKTOK FANTASY SENSATION THAT'S SOLD OVER HALF A MILLION COPIES, PERFECT FOR FANS OF SARAH J. MAAS AND JENNIFER L. ARMENTROUT

'It scares me - what I did that night. Because I don't know my own power . . . But that's been the problem all along, hasn't it?'

My life has been shaped and controlled by the greed of others, but that ends now.

I have burned down the court of King Midas and from those flames, I will rise and wield my own power.

The problem is, when you turn against a King - everyone turns against you.

But with Slade by my side we will fight the monarchs that come for us. And if we need to become the villains, then so be it.

Because as long as I live in this world, I won't be used again.

I must be strong. I must be undefeatable. I will shine like the sun - and blind our enemies . . .

Runny nose

Once again the female sounds like she is TOO SICK. Its actually infuriating. Why?? Her other works (no plated prisoner) she’s fine. This is awful

amazing

i love this book and series very much very interesting and thrilling. i cant wait to listen to the rest of it

Where’s the plot?

Oh my… this was an unnecessary long book.

Going into this series I had heard a lot of good things. This has been on my tbr forever and I finally was in the mood for this series. Unfortunately, I don’t see the hype. This has been long and dragged out in my opinion. I’m struggling a lot with the pace and I feel like this could have been a trilogy.

With Glow I was excited and hopeful this was gonna be the turning point for me to truly get obsessed and devour this series. I felt like Gleam ended on a very exciting note, but Glow did not deliver on the plot for me. Yes, Slade is fine. A great mmc and a male that we love to see on the page. He’s unapologetically fierce and doesn’t care about consequences when in comes to his love for Auren. He’s got a filthy mouth and we do love that. But plot wise, I need more. The pace is off. I felt like nothing happened until the 85% mark. And that’s too many pages read with bland stuff happening… or lack there of, for me to enjoy the positives of this series like I want to.

The best part of this book for me was the banter and tension between Os and Rissa. I wanted more pov’s from them. There has been different pov’s in this series, and that’s fine. But now I’m staring to find them boring and inconsequential. I zone out with some of the pov’s and I don’t want to do that but there’s nothing holding my attention.

I feel like there has been character development, for both Auren and Slade, which is good. But now I need for the plot and storyline to really get in line. I need there to be a clear goal or a direction because now I honestly don’t see the point of continuing this series if I don’t have an inkling of where this is going.

Glow, as Gleam, ended on a cliffhanger. I was excited about the ending of Gleam, but I can’t say the same of Glow. I’m tired. I just want this to end. I think I need a break before I continue this series. I need something epic to happen, like all the political intrigues turn into an epic war so all the books make sense! Why is there 6 books?

Pretty please let the final two installments have great pace, and an intriguing, compelling and entertaining storyline which captures my attention and keeps it!

The worst book of the series

This book was mostly about them hooking up and the back story of the FMC.
The performance of the female characters was the worst with that nasal sickly voice. I wish the narrator recorded the book after she got well cause she sounded sick all throughout the book which was annoying me to no end.

Nope

The whole series up to this point was ruined by the horrible performance of the main actress (specially when she’s portraying Rip) and her annoying stuffed nose… but this one destroyed everything with the weird sound glitches.
