About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

The TikTok fantasy sensation that's sold over half a million copies, perfect for fans of Sarah J. Maas and Jennifer L. Armentrout.

'It's the arrogance of men to think so little of women. And it'll be their downfall, too.'

Locked away in a castle on the snowy mountains in the Sixth Kingdom of Orea, I have never known freedom.

No one can get in or out. Apart from him.

King Midas, who rescued me from the streets. Who gave me food, shelter, and his heart. Who I promised to love forever.

But when political upheaval sees me sent across kingdoms to a future I no longer understand, everything I thought I knew about King Midas is shattered...

The world has only ever heard his story.

Now it's time to hear mine.

**Content warning: sexual violence**

The story has potential, and I would like to see where it goes but randomly the writer has inserted flash backs on the main characters life that really doesn't provide a point to where the story is going.
The writing will fixate for a while on the mains thoughts, going back and forth in an internal monologue that leads nowhere and is frustrating to listen to.

The narrators voice switches mid sentence like she missed lines and someone had to fill in. She acts out the main character to be a whining brat.

It's difficult to listen to, would recommend buying and reading this instead, might enjoy it better.

gosh I really loved this book! the narrator did such an amazing job! I really felt like I knew the FMC and other characters in real life 🫶🏻
the storyline had me absolutely hooked, and I haven't been that hooked since I've read a SJM book.
kind of reminds me of the prison healer, storyline wise. can't believe it has such a low rating here!

already downloaded book 2 and am preparing for a late night haha

I really enjoyed this Stockholm syndrome vibed retelling of Midas. the FMC was niave as anything and her internal monologue cracked me up frequently. I loved this as an audio book too that was very well done.

golden adventure

You just have to make it through thefirst book to get to the second and the third. Yes, the main protagonist is extremely annoying and the person who’s reading voice doesn’t help but trust me just get to the second and the third book.

Just stick with it.

I had read that this was quite explicit. It’s a lot tamer than Game of Thrones.

Worth a listen

Awesome narration. Though storyline is extremely slow and you can expect charters upon charters of no progression, with just FMC in her head or just chit chat

To slow for me

This book has such vivid descriptions. The scenes of rape and debauchery are somewhat gruesome and cringey. The plot line is obscure because of the amount of times that all of a sudden in the middle of a scene there’s a tangent about the setting and what everything looks like.

All in all a good listen, I’m interested to see where the plot line leads.

A highly detailed story

I love the re-telling of this story! It’s so different and that’s a great thing!

Amazing & Different!

I live fantasy romance books, like fourth wing, ACOTAR etc, and this is not a romance. It is more like a dark retailing of a fairy tale. The main character is a little annoying for the first half of the story, but it ends with her character becoming more self aware and interesting. I will be reading the next book.

Wasn’t what I was expecting, but still a great story
