Reviews with content warning for Violence - Kingdom of the Wicked - Die Göttin der Rache

Huge disappointment, sadly. The adventure and mystery of the first two books is replaced with smut and lenghty declarations of love in this third and last installment. What I thought would be an epic conclusion fell completely flat, and the conclusion of the plot (what was left of it between all the smut) was way to easy.
It’s by far not my worst reading experience but it is bitter. It’s.. ok but it had soooo much potential so ”ok” just feels worse than it actually is.

Sort of a disappointing end of the series. The first half had me gripped and I did read this book in a day so it did hold my attention but I did not like how the curse was broken and I feel like there are some things that were not flushed out. Wrath also changed from such an alpha in the first half of the book to like a puppy dog the 2nd half. It was sort of weird

You know, I am asking myself how we got from a murder mystery YA to this. I am not complaining, although I did not enjoy this one as much as the others.
There’s a lot of spice and although I often read spicy books, at times it felt too much for me and took away the story.
While I did enjoy Emilia becoming this fearless, not giving a damn and destroying everything in her wake if someone touched Wrath, I did not enjoy how she was introduced later. I don’t want to spoil anything, but I had wished Kerri came up with a better idea to give Emilia these very realm destroying powers. I also screamed at her half the time because she really hold on to her dear sister too much.
The whole story in this book is very fast paced and everything happens literally within a few days. Which kind of annoyed me and I was asking to give the characters some damn time to at least get some sleep 🙄 every encounter between Emilia and Wrath also ended up in kind of a spicy scene. I can understand that you always want to tear off each other’s clothes, but can you have a normal conversation for once?
I do have to admit that Daddy Wrath is one of my favorite book boyfriends. He knew all along and the wicked things he says and does 😮‍💨
That’s what I want in a romance. Let the couple choose each other every time, I don’t give a damn if they are not supposed to be together or whatever reasons authors come up with. That’s why I liked Emilia‘s character development very much in this book. With except the few choices she made that had me screaming 😂 but I can look over that.
So now, the question remains, will there be more books? Because while they had a HEA, it was still kind of an open end and as Emilia said there are still parties involved that can retaliate any second…
