Seiler has masterful command of a subtle style, both skittish and firm in its diction and movement, tense and tensile in its branching extensions and jittery vertiginous drops. She doesn’t want to betray Midas, even as the more she is given time to think away from her gilded cage, that Midas not be the saviour she once credited him as. Seiler has effectively rewired the lyric for the twenty-first century, tuning the dial of the poetic to its lower frequencies, where the signal can pass through walls. I know there's still a chance she'll grow on me, but it hasn't happened yet, so she better do something really awesome soon. When you let it go, when you finally let that out, your fury is going to light up the spirit you’ve shadowed.

The main focus of Glint is character development, as well as introducing a whole ton of new characters (Lu is my favourite) and taking the time to get to know them. Could it be that cage was built not only to keep her safe from the King's enemies, but to keep everyone safe from her?

The Pacing Is Still Very Slow…While there are some major high points in the story that really add some excitement and unpredictability in the story, it takes you a bit longer than you’d maybe like to admit…. Her growth and realization towards the end that everything she had endured was because of a false love was so powerful yet heart wrenching. Can we talk about Auren going to visit the saddles when she KNOWS they hate her more than anything… why did she do that? That is, trauma recovery is not linear and this amount of time is necessary for Auren to reflect upon her past and recent events.Rooted in Seiler’s childhood home, an East German village brutally undermined by Soviet Russian uranium extraction, these propulsive poems are highly personal, porous, twisting, cadenced, cryptic and earthy, traversing the rural sidelines of European history with undeniable evocative force.

But it won’t be long and I’m so glad I decided to get all the books together because Raven Kennedy as a habit of stopping at the most inconvenient places! Considered Midas’ most treasured, Auren is caged within his palace and is only invited out when he wants to show her off. Much like the last book, the last bit of Glint is where all the tension reaches its boiling point and the excitement finally makes its appearance!

She may not be able to disentangle herself from her captor just yet, there's much she still needs to come to terms with, but there's still hope for her. We get closer with Auren, learn more of her past and also a bit more about how and why she is special.
