10x better than the last two books! The entire book was filled with so many twists and turns I didn’t want to put the book down.

🜸 okay wtf. i loved the first two books but this flopped so hard in some parts. the storyline was interesting as always and kept me on my toes not knowing what to expect the whole time. claudia being pride's wife and domenico and marcella being half-siblings??????? like. what. my jaw DROPPED at the end finding out what greed did. least favorite brother fr. but besides from the amazing plot twists, it just wasn't a great story. wrath managed to turn every conversation where he didn't want to admit something into sex and emilia just let him. have some self respect girl. AND THEN HE GETS HIS WINGS BACK AND THERE'S LIKE MAGICAL FEATHERS THAT MAKE GOOD SEXY TIME??????? who the fuck approved that. that's weird as hell. not to mention the smut was just weird as well, i can't get over the cringe ass writing and weird phrasing. just say he's fingering you and not "slipping a finger into your essence." 😐😐😐 and vittoria spent this whole book taking on this bad guy role just to switch up at the end and be best friends with emilia again as if she didn't literally murder people and encourage emilia to leave wrath. it's so bonkers. i really had high hopes for this book and it just wasn't great.

i'm sorry but by the start of the second book i knew this trilogy was a plane crash waiting to happen.

The first book: Amazing.
The atmosphere of mystery and paranormal activity within old Italy is just *chef's kiss*. There was an actual progression to the romance both coherent to the plot and the characters. Both Wrath and Emilia had distinct voices and personalities. And I loved watching them interact and banter.

The second book: Puzzling.
I thought we would be entering a new era for our characters and new stakes that are both higher and give them more purpose. We got that, yes. But boiiii was I disappointed by Emilia's decrease in agency and Wrath's constant simping of Emilia. I mean... You're a powerful man with a role to fill in. And never once do I see him play the leader excpt for dramatic effect. His title is overused and only emphasises his 'danger' whenever Emilia and him has any 'spicy' scenes.

The third and final book: Plane fucking Crash.
There's NOTHING. This book is void of a plot and anything sensibly needing of a story. I don't want to pause on every little thing that bothered and angered me because if I did I would be here too long.
PS: I hated Emilia in this book.
