Kingdom of the Wicked

This was interesting read and I do recommend it. I gave it four stars because for me it wasn’t the page turner I was hoping for. The story line was good if a bit convoluted at times. Don’t want to spoil it but the ending wasn’t what I hoped it would be.

Definitely a book to read for people who are interested with fantasy and fiction concepts! The only reason I give this a four star is the ending had a twist I did not like. Otherwise this is a good book with a good writing style.

First book I’ve ever finished and I couldn’t put it down! Was really immersive and caused many emotions during the read! It’s my favorite book so far and cannot wait to continue onto the next in the series!

I couldn’t put this down! I was immediately caught up in the characters, their struggles, and the unexpected connections between them! The “dance” between Emilia and Wrath is exquisite. I can’t wait to read the next book!

this book was absolutely amazing!

The first book is soooo good highly recommend, I’ve lended to so many friends it’s too good. But, every book henceforth is just progressive and progressive porn. I like the spicy romance but I feel like the author ended up completely forgetting about the story and plot midway through the series and just did fan fare. While the story is not bad the romance is definitely the main focus. Highly recommend if spice is what you’re looking for :D

Kinda good, kinda weird. Leaves you wanting more detail so you read the next one. Which I did and did not like.

this book is SO good. wrath? yes please. the whole concept of this book is just *chefs kiss*

So here’s the thing, you spend most of the time unsure of when this story takes place. The author never fully depicts any historical events or specific references that tell you in what era you should be imagining. I’m assuming maybe late 1800s or early 1900s because of the constant dress-wearing but that’s just a guess. My other problem is the lack of dialogue. You spend 85% of this book drowning in Emilia’s internal monologue and musings. More interaction with the world the author has created would not have only cleared up the whole “when does this take place” issue, but would have also given us more insight into the supernatural elements and the beautiful imagery of Sicily. I loved what she did with the food elements, those were fantastic and giving our heroine a passion outside of magic is fully appreciated. The plot in its entirety was not bad, and the writing itself is fantastic. I’d say that was the best part of the book. Everything else just fell very short of expectation. Also, Emilia does not act or speak like an 18 year old and the fact that she made her so young seems targeted (most likely by the author’s publishing team). I honestly just pretended Emilia was in her mid-twenties the whole time and just ignored her age entirely. All that to say, great premise, lots of potential, but just fell flat for this specific installment. Im giving the second book a try in hopes that this story fleshes out more.

Freaking captivating. Amazing. Always had me holding my breath for what was going to happen next. 11/10 recommend
