Description: Well, there are more mysteries in hell to solve every day. Emilia now has to solve 2 'murders': her sisters and one of the prince's generals. She also has to decide if she's marrying Wrath and what their relationship will look like. Oh and of course, what about Emilia's past? Everything has to come wrapped up in this series final, including everything newly introduced int his book. Does Kerri do it?

The good:
- honestly the world is fantastically interesting to me, the princes, the other creatures, all seem interesting
- I think this had some of the most interesting plot points throughout the entire series but...

The loss of 3 stars:
- ...the pacing was SO WEIRD. I almost wish we got some of the worldbuilding in book 2. It felt so RUSHED.
- I WISH there was more fade to black scenes, not because the spicier scenes were bad, but because i wanted the plot more fleshed out. The balance felt completely off.
- I am still a strong Emilia hater. I also feel the second mystery Emilia elects to solve in this book was unnecessary.

Overall: I don't know honestly. I'm glad it's over. Will I look into the adult book? Honestly, maybe because it's focused on a new perspective in the same interesting world...as long as Emilia is gone.

3.5/5 stars

Maybe I needed to re-read the first two books before reading KOTF, because I was really let down by the ending and some parts of it.
While I loved Emilia and Wrath in KOTW and KOTC, in this third installment my interest and curiosity shifted to other characters and couples, namely Pride and Lucia.
I found Vittoria unlikable, which I’m still not sure if it was intentional on the author’s part. It didn’t feel like she actually cared about Emilia, which bummed me out.

The plot was interesting and what kept me reading, and I found the plot twists to be page-turning. I like Emilia, although at times I found her to be really stupid, but her POV is entertaining and engaging.

I expected the ending to be… more, which is why I decided to give this book 3.5 stars.

She said, hold my beer while I give you smut!! Also I love soft Wrath, and angry Wrath, and every version of him there is. Didn’t ~love~ how the curse got broken but still a good end to the series
