Ich wünschte, ich könnte in Worte fassen, wie sehr mich diese Geschichte in ihren Bann zieht, aber das ist einfach unmöglich. Kingdom of the Wicked ist dank seiner Figuren, seines Ambientes, seines Worldbuildings und seines poetischen Schreibstils (wirklich einer der besten, der mir je untergekommen ist) ein einziges wortgewaltiges Kunstwerk, in welches ich mich auch in diesem zweiten Band verliebt habe. Ein absolutes Highlight durch und durch. ♥️

Had to buy the next book when I was nearing the end, definite cliffhanger
I loved this book a lot, more than the previous one.
The author likes to really describe everything, from the clothes, to the spaces and the food, but fortunately this book had a little less of the food descriptions (they were a bit excessive in the first book).
I read the previous book awhile ago, and had forgotten a lot of the details, but I really appreciated how the author recalled specific details of the first book to kinda answer the answered questions in this one.
I’m only hoping that we get to know the rest of the wicked a little more, and a badass Emilia that brings hell to everyone that’s been lying to her and deceiving her.

nah, just no
I’m sorryyyyy but cmon
First 200 pages was pure smut. Emelia barely mentioned her sister nor did the plot begin to unravel mystery.
The next 100 pages (from around the 300 page mark) slowly started incorporating plot. And I mean slowly. Hard to get thru considering I just read 200 unnecessarily long pages but it was also where I got more invested.
And from page 400 until the end of the book (like 30 ish pages) is where the most “action” happens and the answers are given (if any really).
Book was longer than it needed to be, the first 200 pages could’ve easily been 100. This felt like a transition book for the third instalment.
I ammm rating this harshly I understand that but I cant overlook the fact that Emelia barely mentioned her sister for majority of the book in all its 400 page glory when the series is suppose to BE about that, and the fact that the most clue unravelling and actual plot/action transpired within the like 40 pages of the book.
Wrath is amazing tho x
Emelia and Wrath’s relationship was the only saving grace. But I swear if I ever hear the phrases “goddess curse me” or “blood and bones” one more time I’m going to hit my head with a frying pan.
Main points
1. Emelia was so annoying around mid book and tbh probs the whole thing.
2. Wrath was the only savouring character
3. So much descriptions and so little character development
4. Obviously Wrath was the Devil.
5. Pride does enter probs until 80% into the book!
6. Did I mention Emelia was annoying and she didn’t seem to care much about avenging her sisters death?
7. I also wanted more food descriptions :( nom nom
Shall see how the next book goes

Amazing, show stopping, never done before… this was simply fucking incredible. I will die for this book. I will fight for its honor. This book fucked me up and put me back together and then fucked me up again.
I did not particularly care about the first book, but this one was on another level. This… I have no words.

I am here for all the vibes but the MC really got on my nerves a lot. Also, none of the twists were surprising in the slightest.

Mejoró demasiado en comparación al anterior de la saga, al fin se hizo increíblemente interesante un libro de esta autora, todo el tiempo me mantuvo con ganas se saber que pasa, sin embargo, Emilia es una de las protagonistas más irritantes que he leído, siempre se contradecía, es literal una Dumbass, la mayor parte del tiempo actuaba sin saber lo que hace, guiada solamente por demostrar ser “peligrosa” o como ella misma se dice “una bestia” (no lo es) no fue hasta el final que parecía ser un poco mas inteligente.
Los momentos mas interesantes sucedían cuando Wrath estaba presente.
Buen libro, le quita puntos tantas descripciones y Emilia.
