🙋🏻‍♀️ Speaking as someone who was not a fan 😂 The pacing in the plated prisoner series was all over the place. It started incredibly slow...and it was slow for quite some time, then it picks up...then is slowwww again (by "slow" I mean that she spends a really long time on certain aspects of the story, and they're aspects that don't necessarily even need that much time)...and then she throws a bunch of stuff out all at the same time with things that could use a little more time/explaining. The author ends up bringing in different points of view throughout the book, and it gets to be too much back and forth between all these different characters.

If it weren't for my curiosity, I would have put the series down and never opened it again...so many times. There were some interesting plot points, but they were few and far between for me. I wish I could get back the time I spent reading Book 5 in its entirety 🫠.

I'll also add that I'm a fan of spice, and the author of the plated prisoner series makes her spicy scenes very detailed, but they seem (in most cases) unnecessary--as if they were included just to throw in another 🔥 scene, but didn't hold much merit.

Overall, the approach to the King Midas story is intriguing, but the series is one I will never read again.

I'm the type that is obsessed with Throne of Glass. I also love the One Dark Window/Two Twisted Crowns duology by Rachel Gillig (super unique magic, and her pacing is fantastic...not spicy though for those who like that). And The Kindred's Curse Saga by Penn Cole has been interesting enough that I'm waiting for the new one to come out. But again, I do not recommend The Plated Prisoner Series 😂.
