Summary

Brought to you by Penguin.

THE TIKTOK FANTASY SENSATION THAT'S SOLD OVER HALF A MILLION COPIES, PERFECT FOR FANS OF SARAH J. MAAS AND JENNIFER L. ARMENTROUT

'I don't choose him. Not anymore. I'm choosing me.'

I was told that being confined was to keep the bad out . . . Until i realized it was about keeping me in'

Midas made me forbidden and weak. Little did he know that I would find my wings and voice - which sings now.

After living amongst the terrifying army of Fourth Kingdom, I find myself, once again, in strange lands and a kingdom surrounded by liars.

But something has ignited within me. Something dark. Something angry.

Then comes King Ravinger.

And the last thing I wanted was my heart to be torn.

Can I really fall in love when the cities around me threaten to crumble and my fate hangs in the balance?

One thing is for sure, I won't be caught in a cage again.

No, this time, it'll be me setting the trap.

Critic reviews

Praise for The Plated Prisoner Series
This series has stolen my heart, my breath, my regard for anything else. I've never been so immersed in a story before-never read characters that have felt so real. I've cried, laughed, screamed, thrown my kindle across the room, picked it up again, swooned . . . These characters, this WORLD . . . it's everything. Raven has written a story for the ages, destined to go down as one of the epics
Raven writes with a magic that comes to life on the page. Every single word gleams like gold
This is one of those series that started off phenomenal, and only gets better with every subsequent book.
This series is amazing and I can't recommend it enough. It is one of the best New Adult Fantasy books out there.
TEN GILDED STARS! Remarkably original . . .and the prose, people . . . gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous
An emotional rollercoaster
What I've enjoyed so far about this series is how it's a metaphor about real, emotional issues
I devoured [the] first book and it ended on such a nice cliff-hanger that I am thirsting for the next one
This series has stolen my heart, my breath, my regard for anything else. I've never been so immersed in a story before-never read characters that have felt so real. I've cried, laughed, screamed, thrown my kindle across the room, picked it up again, swooned ... These characters, this WORLD ... it's everything. RK has written a story for the ages, destined to go down as one of the epics. (Sarah A Parker, author of To Bleed a Crystal Bloom)

slow start, really took its time to get going. worth a listen. ends setting up the next book nicely, and makes me feel like the series will get better.

very slow start, but picked up in the last quarter.

I love this series I was screaming at the end! only thing I don’t know why she gave king Roth such a shitty voice

Great plot

The female narrator sounds like a little girl with a cold where as the male narrator sounds like an old English duke. Also the female does the male characters voice in her chapters and vise versa and they’re even worse. Please read this series NO AUDIBLE

Please read this series - NO AUDIBLE

it is definitely worth it. Books 1 and 2 could easily be combined to make better reading and I think that would remove the likelihood of people dropping the series so quickly. The voice actors aren't the best fit but you do get used to them, increasing the playback speed helps a bit. The series is certainly worth it in the end, it is a journey of empowerment, self discovery and love and if you can get to this book you will realise why it was worth it.

In this book we saw the golden girl really come into herself and get free of her past. We find out a lot of secrets and get some really steamy scenes 🌶🥵. The ending was something else, it was so good and unexpected that I even forgive some of the annoying m, sentimental rumbling in the middle of the book.
I’ve to say, queen Malina is a total entitled and selfish, shortsighted b!tch and I disliked her even more than before. I truly hope she gets to redeem herself in the next few books as she was a victim of Midas too.
Despite the outstanding narration from Bella Sandy (she really put so much emotional attention to her performance, it was amazing), I think having a different narration is a total bad move and the person that decided this should be sacked. We already have a voice for Auren and, it could have been Bella, if it was from the beginning, but to just change now is like a slap in the face of every fan that bought the previous books. Terrible move Penguin, very disappointing .

Wow 😮 I was NOT expecting that ending 🤯😱
