It’s fine. It’s nothing spectacular, and I expect the spice to be way better in Kingdom of the Cursed. The idea is cool, I just don’t know if it was executed as well as it could have been.

I enjoyed this more than I thought I would. I really like the author's writing and world building. I love that this is set in Italy. I can't tell the time period, but it almost feels like an alternate history type of setting. The romantic tension was spot on and the pacing was perfect.

I looooved this book. I really liked the world Kerri built and the slowburn enemies-to-lover trope. Although sometimes I thought the love was unfolding more and then they hated each other again which was a bit confusing. The writing style was fastpaced and easy to understand. Some say it was very wattpad-like, but I didn't mind. The only downside to this book in my opinion is that it left quite a few questions unanswered. Especially towards the end it feels kind of rushed as rash decisions were made without, to me, logic or explanation as to why. Perhaps we'll get these answers in the sequel! Nevertheless, I haven't found it this hard to put a book down in a loooong time and can't wait to read the sequel! If you're into fantasy, murder mysteries, enemies-to-lovers and brooding characters, definitely read it.

AAAAGGHHH OMG THIS BOOK😩😩😩
I loved it so much<333 this is really a five star book and I will recommend it to everyone I come across. I’m gonna order the next book like right now because i need to find out what’s going to happen with Emilia!! I laughed, almost cried, bit my tongue in anger while reading this book. I admit it wasn’t the best book I’ve ever read, the first 60 pages were very boring and confusing, I was about to the put the book on dnf. I’m glad I didn’t! The main character is amazing. I love her so so so much, she is the best. I also live Wrath but we will se how that turns out in the second book. However easily a 5⭐️ Book 📚
