"If I killed him - and make no mistake, Auren, I would gladly kill him for you, damn the consequences. But if I did, the truth is right there on your face. You'd resent me for it. Even if you don't want to admit it. And isn't that just a fucking cruel twist of it all?"

- Slade Ravinger (Gleam by Raven Kennedy)

Kingfisher in Brimstone and Slade Ravenger in the Plated Prisoner are the blueprint for devotion

You know what makes me laugh and amazes me ?

That people complain about Gold, the first volume of Raven Kennedy's series, for being toxic and not a romance, an apology for the worst things there is, whereas... it's not a romance.

The story of Auren and Midas is not a romance, and the author does not romanticize this relationship at any point.

Auren will eventually break away from Midas who will pay for his horrible actions. At no time was their relationship romanticized.

And I sincerely worry about the people / antis who criticize this book in the opposite direction, thinking that the book glorifies this relationship and romanticizes it.

These people shouldn't read books. They don't know how to read at this stage.

And if they think this story between Auren and Midas is being portrayed as a romance, I worry about their reading comprehension skills, truly... Either that, or they're being willfully stupid.

The worst part is that I've seen people say that the fact that it stands out in the other volumes is no excuse because volume 1 still exists.

Except that once again, the story of Midas and Auren is not and never has been a romance ! This is clear abuse, both physical and mental !

This person also claims with this intelligent thought that the author could have completed the story of these two in two chapters instead of continuing in a vacuum to romanticize gore, and that amazes me.

Victims of abuse often live in a repeating cycle and don't get out of it (if they ever get out of it...) for a long time. You already need the mental trigger to understand being a victim of abuse.

These people once again have no reading skills.

Don't you like reading stories with complicated themes ? Well don't read it !

But don't come and say that the book is poorly done because you didn't understand it.

Someone explain to me how Gild was literally the worst book I have ever read, but somehow I’ve made it 3/4 through Gleam and now I want to stand by Auren’s side and watch her burn this castle to the ground while she frees Digby and the saddles and nails Midas’s severed head to a dartboard?

Slade :((

“The reality that I don’t know how long I have until I go completely mad from the soul-ripping separation from her”

First, Xaden becomes Venin

Now, Auren loses her memories

What's next in the romantasy genre?
