King of Pride by Ana Huang
3.0
This book had so much potential, but it felt extremely flat to me. By potential I meant we had 2 great characters to reflect on. Kai being so smart and Isabella being so exuberant, it could look like a grumpy-sunshine trope but author chose to dig a little deeper which I enjoyed.
There are some relatable moments like-
Everyone here seems to know what they’re doing or at least what they want to be doing. They live for a purpose, not survival.”
“It’s funny,” Isabella said. “You want Kai to run a Fortune 500 company, yet you treat him like a child who can’t make his own decisions. How do you reconcile those two things?”
But they came out once in a blue moon and rest of all it felt like prose dumping of no action only words relating to the traits we were promised the characters had. Atleast I'm happy it didn't glorify toxic dynamic because both of them are very respectful to each other. All in all I'm meh about it including the spicy moments.
