The rhythm of the story was very odd either. Generally speaking, a story would have a set-up, a confrontation, and a resolution. So three-act structure. This book had like seventy-eight different acts and one drunk plot. The author tried to make multiple mysteries and stress triggers just to fail in all of them. You know”—I looped my arm through Vittoria’s and started walking down the cobbled road that was nothing more than an illusion—“someone once told me hate is rooted in passion.”
The author completely messed up in this one. I think the sole purpose to write this book for her was to write smut, which is nicely done but the overall plot has nothing to offer. Thinking of waves lapping made me think of Wrath’s skilled tongue and all the things he’d done to me with it. I squeezed my eyes shut, but that only brought on memories of Wrath between my thighs, a king indulging in a royal feast. Hello! This week was FULL of fun KINGDOM OF THE FEARED things. The standard US/UK cover reveal, the B&N Exclusive edition cover reveal, AND the gorgeous Waterstones Exclusive edition and the best part???? The Nerd Daily shared the entire FIRST CHAPTER and Waterstones posted it on their blog this morning too. The first chapter—as well as the book summary— contain spoilers for the first two books, please do not read either if you need to catch up on the series. i need to formally apologise to Vittoria, Goddess of Death, the superior twin sister, master manipulator and the realest, baddest bitch about... i am so sorry i ever called you a bland, caricature villain. i judged you too harshly, baby girl, and for that, i will never forgive myself. Every time I see someone post the exclusive bonus content of a book for those of us who are international, my heart grows three inches. Bless you all. You're doing the lord's work.Kingdom of the Feared marks the conclusion of the trilogy and it's always bittersweet to bid these characters farewell. The Barnes & Noble Exclusive Edition features a unique cover and contains a spicy bonus chapter from Envy's point of view.
The author had not much to offer in this book. I could've blamed it on my reading slump but I'm actually out of it so it's definitely the book. It seems like there's going to be a spin off series, I'm not sure if I'll read it. Most likely won't, but we'll see. While this wasn't my favorite book of the trilogy, KotF definitely was the one that was fuller in terms of plot and the one that entertained me the most after the masterpiece that is KotW.Pride and Lucia >>>>>> Pride and Vittoria. ily girl, but Lucia and Pride are serving all the best tropes. i have a vision of Vittoria being sapphic, tell me y’all don’t see it too?! I'm lowering my rating to 2 stars, because while writing this review i realized i was too generous with my original rating. I'm more of a quality vs quantity kinda person, so I found all the sex scenes entirely unnecessary. They didn't really add anything. If you've read one, you've read them all. And they weren't even good. Emilia yearns to claim her king, the seductive Prince of Wrath, in the flesh. She wants him, heart and soul – but that’s something the enigmatic demon can’t promise her.
When a high-ranking member of House Greed is assassinated, evidence points to Vittoria as the murderer. Now, Emilia will do anything to discover the truth of these accusations against the sister she thought she knew. firstly, my main issue with this book is the way it’s been labelled and promoted— someone needs to deep-dive into the progressing phenomenon of smutty fantasy romances being marketed as YA books. or just generally, books with explicit content being promoted as YA. because it’s becoming so commonplace now and i find it so odd that it’s allowed? Writing sequels worthy of a spectacular first book mustn't be an easy job, but if there's an author I know would accept the challenge and ace it, it's Kerri Maniscalco. As this is a work of pure fiction, I'm considering it as it is. My own beliefs are not causing any sort of hindrance in my rating. While I've read a lot of fantasy, and I do cause it's one of my favourite genres- I do not agree with everything I read. It is meant to be taken as a work of fiction, aka not real. This book also had way too many loose ends for my taste. A lot of random arcs that just got lost in the main plot line which wasn't even a proper plot as I mentioned before.
i love the direction this series went with book #2, and i think this concluding installment does the overall story justice. its books like these that perfectly argue why the NA genre needs to be more of a thing in the publishing world. For starters, the characters were incredibly flat. The main villain reveal from the last book was amazing, and yet this part didn't utilize it at all. Vittoria was boring and lost all allure only a few chapters in, leaving me sorely disappointed. But still, she wasn't the worst character by far.
