4.0

by far the best one of the series. emilia finally became not-annoying, and i enjoyed

vittoria

a lot. i wish there had been more dialogue with nonna, because it felt like that was rather easily wrapped up despite the depth of their relationship when the twins were growing up. finally i kind of wish that

emilia had remained without her powers at the end. it felt like there was so much significance in her making that choice, and for the narrative to feel more solid i think it should’ve been permanent. wrath being able to split his power and give her back her powers exactly as they had been before felt a bit deus ex machina esque.

4.5 ⭐️, 4 in 🌶, ✅ escape test
my first review didn't save which is depressing bc it was unhinged and there's no way this will be as good but here goes...

If I had to describe this book in 2 words it would be FEMALE RAGE and I was HERE. FOR. IT. It was YASS QUEEN quite literally. And like, obvi we knew Emilia was going to become queen but the way this book made it happen was incredibly satisfying. It rounded out Emilia's and Vittoria's characters and solved/explained some of the issues I had with characterization in the second book. The little teases we got of the brothers were really intriguing and I will sell my kidneys for a Lust spin-off.

The spice amped up even more and was absolutely delicious. While it wasn't the most deranged smut I've read (this says more about me than the book), I still had to be careful about how loud I was listening to it in my car at red lights.

I think part of the reason I loved this series so much is because it feels like dark mythology. I can't exactly explain it but the idea of the sins and the goddesses and the magic is just 100% up my alley and I can't wait to read more of this universe.

The steamy scenes use naive language in my opinion, and made it cringey. Great concept for a book though.

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.
