I ugly cried a lot today and one thing I’m hoping for is a Ryatt and Emonie love story 🤗
Also Slade is the very best MMC in all the lands 🔥 his mother and the whole Goldfinch saga 😭
And poor Judd.
And yah for Argo 💪🏼 the most loyal.
The party is in a few hours so some of the food isn't here because others are bringing it but here is our set up so far:
golden Oreo 'orea" cake
champagne and golden treats
goldfish crackers and more golden oreos
caramel corn
yellow chips like doritos and fritos
gold decorations and 24 ribbons hung around
romantasy games: custom tapple topics, custom guess who and then cards against prythian
some crafts: cricuting bookish themes on a cup and candle and then a diamond art bookmark
we saved the last 3 chapters to read together :)
We all have young kids and this is hard to schedule for us all but we have a whole day to veg out, craft, talk about the book and vent about husbands and kids haha
I had no idea when starting this series, how emotionally wrecked I'd be once I finished it. It easily is one of the best series I have come across so far and I feel gutted even thinking about starting something else now.. which is probably going to push me into a very welcomed re-read. I was pulled in so many directions throughout this series, I think I both cried and laughed more than I have in any other series I've read so far. That says a lot (in my opinion) about how well this series is written and how much work went into each book.
I've read that a lot of readers struggled getting through the last few books or couldn't finish the series. There were a few times where I almost wanted to put it down and walk away >!(specifically Malina's earlier chapters that came up) !<but I'm so glad I pushed through it because I thought the last book and ending was done beautifully.
I also don't think there is any other MMC that compares to Slade and how he'd destroy everything and everyone on Auren's behalf. I also LOVED how other relationships were introduced and explored throughout the series >!(I couldn't get enough of Rissa and Osrik and was rooting for them so hard)!<.
I am seeing too that Ryatt is getting his own book. I can't find anything online about a timeline of when that will be released (I haven't done a whole lot of research on it yet since I just finished Goldfinch), but I hope it comes out soon.. I'm already feral for it😂
For those of you that are just starting Gild or in the middle of the series and getting discouraged, keep going until you finish it. It is so worth it 🔥❤️
Soooooo reading The Plated Prisoner series for the first time....plowing through Gold bc I'm dying to get to Goldfinch, and read these 2 pages and was like what??? This dont make sense?? 🤔 then I look down at the page numbers I see that it goes from 596 to page 693!!! And then upon further investigation later on in the book it goes from page 724 BACK to page 629!!! Has this happened to anyone else??? I seen there was a missing chapter in the Gold book but mine has that chapter in it, I haven't seen anywhere where there's a whole 100 PAGES MISSING and they are all out of order
Ugh i just finished Goldfinch last week and i can't stop thinking about it!
I loved it so much but understand a lot of people stop reading after Glow; which makes me sad because i love Gold a lot.
So i was thinking about the overall themes and point of the series and honestly, i feel like its about Auren being free.
It's not just about being free from Midas. It's being free from any control and men who would abuse her. The romance is so prominent of course but i feel like it's not actually the main purpose of the story.
When i realised this, i enjoyed the book so, so much more.
So now it's one of my favourite series. Fun fact: my fav book series and manga now both start with sex (Gild and Berserk hahah)
OK WHAT!! I am absolutely loving the playful relationship between Rissa and Osrick!! Can’t wait to see where this goes!! She about to meet a reeeeal man 🥵
Just finished Gold (book 5). The Plated Prisoner series is officially my favorite romantasy series. Sorry Sarah J Mass fans. The action is better. The danger more compelling. The romance more consent-based. And I think Raven Kennedy writes about themes of abuse and trauma better than SJM.
Hello everyone, so I have read the series a couple of times now but my memory is shocking. - I have the bug to write a fic but am struggling to remember some things.
Can anyone tell me how long it took the army to travel from the red raids to 5th? I feel like it's two weeks but I want to be sure. And if there's anyone who also knows how long they are camped outside of 5th that would be helpful too.
Not trying to be really lazy, I just don't want to read the second book again for a basic timeline someone might know.
Much appreciated x
My girlfriends and I are starting gild and I'm hosting. I want to get some decorating ideas and like themed snacks ready but I haven't read the book yet. Without spoiling is there any ideas out there? Just like random play on words for snacks etc. Obviously gold items? Lol
My friend has BEGGED me to read Gild & I love her & wanna be her book bestie…. But I’m also postpartum w a baby girl and book 1 is making me sick to my stomach. Call me soft because truly I am lol.
Anyway, I’ve heard book 1 is potentially prequel-ish anyway, so maybe I could spark notes it? But are the other books just as dark?? For my current mental health, I need to avoid descriptions of rape and sexual violence and derogation against women. Too heavy for me as I hormonally recover whilst holding my baby girl 😭
TLDR:
Does the Plated Prisoner series get less sexually violent//derogatory towards women as it goes on?
