Sumár recenzie
V třetím dílu série Zlatá klec od Raven Kennedy sledujeme děj ze čtyř různých pohledů, díky čemuž se více dozvídáme o Aurenině minulosti a jejím boji za svobodu, zatímco se v příběhu objevuje i zlověstný král Ravinger. Tempo je stále pomalé, autorčin styl se občas vleče a místy působí nesourodě, ale tentokrát se konečně začínají věci pořádně rozvíjet a přibývá i smyslných erotických scén. Postavy jako chladná královna Malina jsou méně sympatické, zatímco vztah Auren a Slada posunuje romanci kupředu — Slade je klasický bad boy, který pro ni udělá cokoli. Kniha má velice silný závěr a celkově je tento díl podle recenzentky lepší než předchozí, i když tempo čtení zůstává pomalejší.

King Midas made me the woman I am today. Notorious. Unattainable. His.

The thing about being confined is that you believe it’s to keep the bad out... Until you realize it’s about keeping you in.

I’m now in a strange kingdom surrounded by liars, with no allies of my own, but I won’t sit idly by and let myself wither. No, there’s something that’s bloomed from the pit of my repression. Something dark. Something angry.

But the last thing I expected was for my anger to call out to him. King Ravinger.

He’s sinister and powerful and entirely too seductive. I’ve learned my lesson with trusting manipulative kings, so why does my chest constrict every time he’s near? I need to tread carefully, or I’m at risk of losing much more than just my freedom.

Regret and revenge war inside of me, and I need to figure out a plan fast before I get tangled up in the schemes of kings and queens.

Because I won’t be caught in a cage again. No, this time, It’ll be me setting the trap... I just hope my heart comes out of this unscathed.
