“I always knew you. And always will. Your soul calls to mine. It’s a feeling of coming home. Of peace. No magic can duplicate it.:

What an amazing conclusion to the trilogy. I have to admit, I want more of the story and of Emilia and Wrath and I don't want it to be over.

This was probably my favorite book out of the three. There was so much action, intrigue, mystery, and spice and it was all balanced nicely and tied neatly together in a little bow. Reading how far Emilia has come from the beginning and how much she has learned about herself and her sister was riveting. The story took a direction that I was not anticipating at all, and I loved the sacrifice that Emilia had to make (with no doubts about what she wanted) at the end. It was refreshing to see a character develop so much within a short span of time.

I loved how all of the lore that had been building in the last two novels has come to light and that the speculation has finally come to light. I really, really don't want this to be the end, but I would absolutely love it if there are spin-offs or novellas of the other Princes.

I feel like the first two books were much stronger than this one. This one I felt like it was a bit rushed to finish up the story. Loved seeing the growth between Wrath and Amelia. Did enjoy the interaction with Wrath and his brothers but all in all it just felt rushed.

Definitely enjoyed the end of this trilogy, though there were a lot plot twists… like a lot a lot. A few things didn‘t quite make sense in the long run, but honestly, I didn‘t mind. What I really liked were the descriptions of magic. This series is going to be one of my favourite ones, because the fantasy is immaculate. I would love to read more about Maniscalcos special version of hell.

Not the worst, but definitely not the best.

Maybe I am a bit harsh/picky, as I've read a fair amount of YA/NA fantasy. Especially some that include a significant amount of similar aspects, such as world-building, history, important secondary characters, and sex. I have seen it done in ways that work, but Kingdom of the Feared did not have a proper balance between world-building - history - sex - emotional connection - character development - character background - etc.

I was very put off by the first 15 pages. It did not feel like the beginning of a new book, but rather a new chapter. Like, give a reader some time to reconnect with the characters before the porn ensues. Furthermore, Emilia getting her memories back it is a big anti-climax, because the reader does not really learn anything. The story just goes on with very little change. I would have liked to some conversations or flashbacks or something to show the reader how much had happened before. Here there is a lack of 'show'.

All in all, I think the author tried to do too much and as a result nearly all aspects fell short for me.
I do think that if the execution had been different, the story could have hit better. I definitely think there was potential for Emilia and Wrath.
