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.

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

4.5

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.
