Reviews with content warning for Sexual content - Throne of the Fallen

I can't believe this is the same author who wrote my favorite book Stalking Jack the Ripper. This is soooo different in many ways.

I'm not going to write a lot about this. The plot that solves the games should have received more focus, development, and detail instead of being rushed. It disappointed me because this part interested me. Other than that, the characters seem to only lust after each other all the time, everywhere. I also didn't feel any chemistry between them; it was as if these two were just thrown into a room and, a second later, were already hungry for each other. So yeah, the romance was not my favorite at all. This book could have been trimmed by 400 pages and packed with a more necessary and better plot.

Overall, I did not like this one and just wanted to finish it as soon as possible. Thank you so much for that experience.

I enjoyed this. It took me a few days to get through because it's been a busy stretch, but it was always something to look forward to. The elements themselves are fairly standard romantasy but well executed and the story and characters developed well across the book

It was enjoyable enought. Though there were times were I got super frustrated on what was happening, especially how the two MLs can never cooperate enought to focus on the game at hand. It made me want to throttle them both from time to time. But other than that, I enjoyed it. Enought to make me curious about the author's other works

I loved this. Pulled me right into the world. It felt like a mix of the best of SJM and Carissa Broadbent.

I didn’t read the Kingdom of the Wicked seres first. (After reading Stephanie Garber’s Caraval prior to OUABH, when I only was interested in Once, I decided to jump right into the series I was most interested in).
