Maybe I would have enjoyed this read more if I had read the Kingdom of the Wicked series first and understood the world more. That said, the first 275 pages felt so slow compared to the latter half of the book which felt rushed at key points. Some of the writing felt too vague and ignored opportunity to elaborate when needed, while other aspects of the book felt too literal in their descriptions and dialogue. Just not for me.

Holy SPICE! I mean I’m here for it, and I know this is Kerri’s debut into adult fantasy but man oh MAN! What a shift form the Kingdom of the Wicked series. I was a little tentative about a stand-alone for Envy but I LOVED it. The mystery of it all, the riddles, the games, the banter. DAMN! Like yes, please. I thought some things were a bit drawn out, like the mystery about Camilla herself, and I sort of guessed her parentage but it was still such a juicy reward to get that confirmation. Hope to see more of Camilla and Envy in future books - I know they’ll be side characters but god I love their witty back-and-forth.
