This book definitely fell into filler territory because it dragged so much and i didn't have a clear idea of what was going on. There was so much going on but nothing actually happening that it began to drag which took me out of the story.
Speaking of: what was the story? The whole prophecy seemed to be self fulfilling because it's glaringly obvious that Rielle is a selfish, vain egomaniac so why she had to hide this or more importantly, why they couldn't see this makes no sense.
The whole thing was rather nonsensical in that the rebellion felt hollow. At any one point i couldn't tell who, what or where they were fighting.
Everything was too excessively and unnecessarily described. At one point there was a half page of what someones wedding dress looked like and i really struggled to care. I struggled with any emotional connection to most of it tbh, especially the love connections. Especially with Simon and his completely unnatural, incestuous and paedophilic feelings towards Eliana. It just isn't right and weirded me out!
The angels, while good to have an outing with angels as villains, fell rather short; especially Ludivine and the wraith Zahra. Their odd Stockholm Syndrome relationship with Rielle and Eliana respectively was annoying to read and i couldn't understand what use they were meant to be. They don't tell them anything, they don't fight etc. Just sitting there being a liability.
*sigh* I'll continue to complete the series but i hope the third book isn't as much of a chore. It gets a pass because book 2s usually do this but i'm continuing to find out the whole Simon element cause that ending was ridiculous and unexpected.

what the fuck just happened. this is just like the ending to ballad except im enraged instead of sad
I saw absolutely none of this coming. We got off to a slow start, and while normally I love a good multiple POV book, I struggled through Rielle’s chapters. However, the writing is incredible and the storyline has so many interesting twists and turns. Just when you think you’ve got things figured out, another plot twist comes out of no where. 4.5/5 stars.
The ending of Furyborn left me feeling "meh' but also still intrigued.
Kingsbane does not need to be this long. Both Rielle and Eliana are thrown into these unnecessary and dumbass love triangles and I just can't. From book one Corien gave me predator vibes and even after the ending of that somehow Rielle keeps vying for his attention and cheating on Audric and its weird.

Conforme dan más detalles sobre el futuro más ansias me dan de continuar para descubrir cómo es que pasa todo
I had been counting down the days until I got this book in my hands... and I really wanted to enjoy it. There were a ton of action scenes, twists and turns! But there was also a lot of detail... and some details didn’t add anything to the story for me. Talking about a character having her period is all good because that’s normal but it didn’t really add or explain anything for me. And Rielle? I’m so over her. Entitled know-it-all’s just are not my cup of tea... and she has/had so many who loved and supported her. I still plan on reading book 3 to see how it all ends, but I probably won’t rush out to get it. Giving a 3.5 in this case.

This is definitely a good fantasy series, and I’ve really enjoyed reading it. It can feel a little trope-y at times, though, which is not an uncommon trapping of the fantasy genre. The twists were genuinely surprising, and I’m excited to see where they’ll lead in book 3.
