lauren_dots 's review for:
Kingdom of the Wicked
by Kerri Maniscalco
4.5 stars! I thoroughly enjoyed Kingdom of the Wicked, and the 370 pages absolutely flew by, I probably could have read this in one sitting.
I really enjoyed the world-building in this that set itself apart from other YA fantasies, from its setting, to its magic system, to the magical creatures in it. The witches vs demons dynamic was really interesting, as well as how humans fit into it all. Also, I loved that this was set in Italy and loved all the descriptions of delicious FOOD!!!
The romance between Emilia and Wrath in this was also quite excellent. Their chemistry was off the charts from the start, fulfilling some of my favourite tropes like enemies to lovers, slow burn and forced proximity. The inevitable "conflict" that occurs in the relationship was also really well done, and was an actual plot device rather than just an excuse to break them up like a lot of authors tend to write it.
The way this ended was MEANNN though, I am absolutely chomping at the bit to pick up [b:Kingdom of the Cursed|52772417|Kingdom of the Cursed (Kingdom of the Wicked, #2)|Kerri Maniscalco|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1613554873l/52772417._SX50_.jpg|73131089]!
