If you want a Sarah j mass book but with the Devil instead of fairies...this is your book ... I enjoyed the aesthetic of the book, I think the mysteries and riddles were not well thought though. It felt like our main character could just come up with answers and they would be right. Also the book has a secret chosen one plot which I don't find the main character works for at all ..

If you are able to not look too closely at some of the way things come together and missing details in the book then it’s a good read. It was fun to follow but also frustrating because it felt like the author skipped days just so there wasn’t a need to write about other things and details felt missing or hard to follow like you should already know some things. And the fmc comes off as not very bright in my opinion as if there is no reason for know the things she does or have figured things out even though she does? I don’t know not my favorite, but wrath is my favorite and I enjoy the storyline.

Okay surprisingly not bad, but there is still WAY too much going on and the world building is chaos. tbh will be reading the third because I need to know what happens.

i shall write my thoughts in the morning, but this was fun :)
rating : 4.5/5

well, why must she end it like that :):
i actually enjoyed this book way more than the first! i was more invested in this plot line than the one in kingdom of the wicked, and i felt like the pacing allowed for me to read through this nicely and without much pause or boredom.
the plot twists in this book did not really surprise me, as i had my suspicions. though it was great to have some of my questions answered, but that ending just caused a whole onslaught of more questions that i need answered. like right now.
things i liked:
1. the setting
the whole hellish atmosphere of kingdom of the cursed was definitely the highlight! i think the descriptions of hell and its inhabitants was so well done, and it was for sure a contrast to the Palermo setting in the first book. the houses and the insight we got on some of the princes of hell we have not previously met was interesting as well
2. wrath and emilia
so i absolutely adore these two! they are just so cute in this book; there are so many moments that i could not contain my smile while reading. the spicy scenes were expected, but i was still shocked at how far ms. kerri went (not that i’m complaining tho). also, both of them are badass. i cannot wait to see their relationship develop more in the next book!
3. the friendships
emilia’s new friendships with anir and fauna were phenomenal. the girl talks she had with fauna made me laugh, as well as her connection with anir. it was nice to see her communicate with someone other than the princes of hell, and i hope we see more of these relationships!
4. the masquerade ball
it was not that prominent to the entirety of the book, but it has been too long since i read a novel with a ball scene and i was just happy to see one again :)
things i did not like:
1. chapter 17
i don’t know. like i could understand why what happened here happened, but i feel as though it was still wrong. it 100% should have been communicated beforehand between emilia and wrath; her not knowing was definitely what made me not like this scene. (just a heads up, it was a scene where emotions are controlled)
overall, i think ms. kerri did a great job with this sequel! i’m excited for the final book to clear up any and all my confusion regarding the ending

Some pacing issues, but an extremely fun book to read that will stick with me for a long time. I NEED book 3!

J’ai adoré le premier tome, mais je n’étais absolument pas prête pour le second. Bien souvent, les deuxièmes tomes d’une saga sont censés être moins bien que les premiers pourtant, non ?
Mon seul regret est d’avoir lu ce livre deux semaines après sa sortie en France, et d’être donc contrainte d’attendre que la suite soit traduite si je veux éviter d’acheter le troisième tome en anglais, ce qui ferait tache dans ma bibliothèque.
