Reviews with content warning for Sexual content - Kingdom of the Wicked - Die Göttin der Rache

I was so pumped for the plot in this book and then I felt like it was basically just lots of smut every chapter. Like every other scene there was more sexy times. And while that’s not necessarily a bad thing, and sometimes that’s exactly what you want out of a book, the fact that I was SO excited for the plot reveals meant that I was disappointed by how long it took for things to reveal themselves. I wanted more political court intrigue than I ended up getting. I really wanted to love this book, but I just kept finding myself being disappointed hoping for more plot. But once the plot reveals started happening they were quite exciting, and the characters were fun, I just wanted more of that drama™️. I felt like the romance kept interrupting the plot and didn’t really fit in seamlessly. I don’t know, I think the fact that I was expecting more to happen and then not feeling like it really did was sort of disappointing to me. I think the book could’ve been edited down a bit or something. But, that said, the plot reveals that did take place were quite exciting. And one of them I totally didn’t see coming. But there were also some plot lines that just kind of didn’t end up going anywhere which was a little odd to me. Like the vampires and the witches plot lines just sort of disappeared at the end. Anyway, if you’re expecting the book to be 50% smut and 50% plot going into it then you might enjoy it more than me, I just felt I had different expectations for it and therefore was kind of disappointed when they weren’t met. But that’s on me!

Honestly this is probably the weakest of the trilogy for me. The “twists” weren’t twisty enough and there wasn’t enough to pull me through the book as quickly as the second one did. Emilia’s slight personality changes bothered me to no end thankfully she returned to “normal” eventually.
