I didn’t remember most of what happened in the previous two books and decided to read the finale just because I have the physical copy.
This is a fun and quick end to a trilogy. Some scenes were a bit rushed, and I was surprised that there are quite many spicy scenes but I guess that’s now a trend. Still, this book should be labeled as an adult fantasy. I loved the moment Emilia came to her true self and gained access to her power, she was amazing! This book hinted at some plots that could be explored more in the future series, and personally, I want to know more about Envy and his past as well as Claudia and her decision on her memories.
Overall, if you’re a fan of the series, you will enjoy this one. But if you’re still contemplating whether to read it or not, I suggest diving into it with minimum expectations.

Holy spice! LOL, I do love spicy romance books! And amazing audio between a great narrator and sound effects! The story was pretty good too. I liked how it ended and who she ended up being. Lots of great quotes as well! Overall an excellent book!

I really enjoy the world building and characters in this series.
I think the pacing for this book was great up until the ending. The ending felt anti-climatic and unfinished. Instead it is all rushed and kind of resolved but not in a satisfying way for myself and what I was looking forward to. It is unfortunate that that is the ending we got as the rest of the book didn't feel that way, and the ending is what sticks with most readers.
This will not stop me from reading Kerri Maniscalo's future books, and I look forward to her new works.

Oh my god finally. We went from YA to NA. I started the book very angry because I’ve gone 2 books with no steam. Then there was not immediate steam. However, this author somehow made me fall in love with all these evil demons, and her shitty sister, and everything. Love is a risk yall. The high rating though honestly is because there is a very very high amount of smut which I greatly appreciated.

This series is typically classified as young adult (YA) and while I think the first book of the series is, I would not say that this book is YA anymore. I would classify it as New Adult due to its detailed sexual content. It does not have the most graphic depictions I have ever read, but it is vastly different from where the series started.lovelymisanthrope's review against another edition

"Kingdom of the Feared" is the third and final book in the Kingdom of the Wicked series. In this thrilling conclusion, Emilia is still trying to process the earth-shattering news that her twin sister, Vittoria is still alive. While trying to understand who Vittoria really is, Emilia also desires to become closer to her king: Prince of Wrath. When there is a mysterious murder in the House of Greed, Emilia and Wrath work together with the other houses and play a dangerous game of deception to uncover what is really going on.
Since the very first book, I have been rooting for Emilia and Wrath, and I have been longing to see them together. This book definitely is worth the wait, but in true YA fantasy fashion, they cannot be together fully yet. They do get some very spicy scenes together, and I did ultimately really enjoy seeing their story play out.
Vittoria's character took a wild turn, and I was not expecting her villainous character arch. It did make me sad to see how her character progressed and the subsequent chaos she caused. I do think she was a good balance in connection to Emilia: although twins, they both have very different core beliefs and guiding lights.
Overall, I was pleased with this story, and I am excited to see what Kerri Maniscalco writes in the future.
