Kingdom of the Wicked felt to me like a great introduction to an intriguing world, and I am eager to pick up the next instalment to continue on the journey. I have many questions! Some of the scenes where the storyline takes a sharp turn felt rushed to me and could have been fleshed out more. That being said, I feel like I could make a great Italian sauce with the level of detail in the cooking musings of the FMC (not necessarily a bad thing except that I was hungry for a large portion of the book lol). Sidenote, go Nonna - who doesn't love a powerhouse matriarch :)
