What an amazing conclusion to the trilogy. I have to admit, I want more of the story and of Emilia and Wrath and I don't want it to be over. 

This was probably my favorite book out of the three. There was so much action, intrigue, mystery, and spice and it was all balanced nicely and tied neatly together in a little bow. Reading how far Emilia has come from the beginning and how much she has learned about herself and her sister was riveting. The story took a direction that I was not anticipating at all, and I loved the sacrifice that Emilia had to make (with no doubts about what she wanted) at the end. It was refreshing to see a character develop so much within a short span of time. 

I loved how all of the lore that had been building in the last two novels has come to light and that the speculation has finally come to light. I really, really don't want this to be the end, but I would absolutely love it if there are spin-offs or novellas of the other Princes.

I feel like the first two books were much stronger than this one. This one I felt like it was a bit rushed to finish up the story. Loved seeing the growth between Wrath and Amelia. Did enjoy the interaction with Wrath and his brothers but all in all it just felt rushed.

Finally finished the trilogy! Hats off to its detailed and creative plot input. It is one of those books that is easy to consume and that you can be fond of. Though the sensual parts were on the extreme wavelength, the twists and thrills around the book leave you satisfied. So many mysteries were unraveled, and there was more room if Vittoria had a story to tell of her own—I'd gladly read it. Overall, it's a satisfying read, though it's too bad Gluttony and Sloth didn't have much of an appearance. I'd love to take up more of them too.

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!
