I love this one so much! I love the complex emotions and how they were handled. The character arcs were satisfying and the plot fine enough.

I definitely liked this book better than the last one in the series (king of greed) but king of wrath is still my fav. Xavier and Sloane had really good chemistry. I’d rate the spice level a 3. It didnt take over the plot. Open door sexual scenes

I liked this book but it’s not my favorite of the series. Xavier is a very lovable character and his character development is noticeable. Sloane is also a great character and it is very easy to admire her and her work ethic. Their relationship is good but I don’t feel their connection/chemistry like the Vivian and Dante’s or Isabella and Kai’s. The spice was there! Not as many as other of her books but it was hot spice. Definitely not disappointed with the amount of spice there was. As always, Ana Huang’s writing is incredible and I am never disappointed of a book of hers. I would read this book again but not over others in the series.

This book met and exceeded every single one of my expectations. Sloane and Xavier were delightful from the very first page, and got progressively more adorable. I’m gonna be thinking about these two for days. 💙💙 (It doesn’t hurt that they give off MAJOR Sydrian vibes, aka one of my absolute favorite fictional couples.)
The only thing that could’ve made this book better was a Kai and Isa wedding. IT WAS THE ONE THING I WANTED, ANA.
Okay, but seriously. We’ve seen Viv and Dante get married, Alé and Dom get divorced and remarried, but Kai and Isa’s wedding is off-page?? And we find out in the epilogue that said wedding was only weeks after this book’s main story ends?? RUDE. And, to top it off, we don’t even get to see Xavi and Sloane engaged. I feel denied!!! 🥲🥲
On another note, I won’t lie—I’m skeptical about the next book. I don’t know either Vuk or Ayana enough to care about them, and I feel like Vuk is such a strange choice for a lead. I knew we’d have to leave the squad eventually, given how long the series is going to be, but I just. I don’t know. I’m gonna need some convincing on this one.
One more thing. At the very end, Xavi mentions Alex discovered the saboteur’s identity but wouldn’t share it, and all we got was it’s someone from a mercenary group that’s targeting the wealthy. I’d bet my nonexistent money that it’s Roman, and we haven’t seen the last of him yet. 👀

- King of Wrath (suck it Dante)
My Ana Huang holy trinity, which finally exists after this book: King of Pride, King of Sloth, Twisted Lies 💜💙💚

Sexual content is explicit but wholly consensual. One character’s father was previously diagnosed with cancer and dies from it on-page. Both characters lost their mothers previously as well, one to a house fire and one (I believe) to an equestrian accident. Both characters dealt with emotional abuse throughout and beyond childhood, and one had a long-term partner cheat on them.pia___'s review against another edition

oh my gosh i love this book so much i can't explain it it had me rolling around my bed giggling and kicking my feet until i couldn't anymore. no words just xavier he is literally so perfect i can't take it of course he has his flaws but this doesn't matter the way he showed up at her door and even called alex for this he called alex fucking volkov only to see her that's insane i could never i'd be too scared 😭 and also sloane i can't believe it i love her so so much she's so sweet but the way her parents treated her it broke my heart liken that's just so unfair i wanted to cry and when we're already at crying the letter the letter no way i cried so bad i couldn't take it but also these two together i am so in love but also the plot the storyline was so good i loved it. it is one of my new favorite romance books of all time now i am not pretty sure if it can top love redesigned but even if not it's a really close second i am so in love 😍😍😍

I was waiting for this book for so long. I didn’t love King of Pride, and King of Greed was better but I wasn’t captivated. But this?? Captivated. Absolutely. Whole heartedly. I am so psyched for King of Envy and I will be thinking about this book for a hot minute. Ana Huang is one of my favorite comfort authors.
