ummm yeah I read this in a day, I will not be taking criticism at this time. this was kinda cheesy with the acotar style “you’ll always have a choice” lines, but it was okay bc the main character did have a choice every time and it wasn’t just a progressive phrase that was thrown around to make the broody guy more tolerable. in conclusion in this book we learn that apparently the devil is husband material, death is just a suggestion, and everyone has anger issues.

I know a lot of people love this series, and I can see the appeal, but it just wasn't really my cup of tea. This book definitely takes a large jump into more new adult than young adult, which is totally fine! It's kind of in the same line as [book:A Court of Thorns and Roses|16096824] and that kind of book, which a lot of people love! But the politics and some of the magic rules were a bit confusing to me. 

There were also some scenes in this book that were kind of cringy for me. Specifically when it came to will and attraction, and if you read this book, I'm sure you know what I'm talking about. These scenes between Emilia and Wrath didn't quite sit right with me, and I kind of wish they weren't even included.

Anyway, Emilia and Wrath did have good chemistry, I just wish that the politics in this book made more sense to me. Maybe it's because I listened to the audio? Who knows. We'll see if I continue on with the next one (though there is a cliffhanger and I might need to know how it finishes).
-----
I'm just not in the mood for this right now, might wait until the library gets the audiobook version instead because that's how I listened to the first book!

This book was really good and fun to read. Some aspects of it were a bit too predictable like
Wrath's name
This book is mainly character driven over world building and fantasy like the first book. You get to really look into
Wrath's and Emilia's relationship
Warning for those who are uncomfortable with sexual scenes. It is a bit spicy in all kinds of aspects an not just with certain characters.

Thoroughly entertaining if not confusing at some points. 

The book definitely kept you on your toes and made you wonder what could possibly come next. I'm definitely looking forward to the third and final book!
