This book was idk not bad but also not great. It was very medium. I felt as is some information was randomly thrown in at times that didn’t make the most sense making it hard put the pieces of the mystery together. 

I did however, enjoy Emilia’s character. I liked how she progress someone who was afraid to someone others should be afraid of. I also loved the family aspect in this book. Even though Victoria’s death was only a few chapters in it made me tearful due to the story semblance of family love the book portrays. This book had some plot twists I saw coming (the prince summoned being the one standing over Victoria's dead body, Envy being the mastermind, Emilia becoming prides bride) and some I did not see coming (Antonio being the murder and working along Envy who he think is an angle, devil horns being the cornicellos). I also felt like some information was quite random/i felt like the connect wasn’t explained well enough like Dominico being a shape shifter aligning with Greed. I did enjoy the backstory of the prophecy and Nonnas connection to it however, I felt like it ever changing was a bit confusing). Lastly, I did enjoy Wrath as a character from the very first summoning I knew he was gonna be the love interest and I do love it!! I also enjoy the princes manners quiet a bit!
