Here’s why I won’t be continuing the trilogy:
1. This book did not make me feel anything except hungry. The Italian food had more character to it than any of the actual protagonists. 🍝
2. How this was pushed as a romance is beyond me. Up until halfway the book I still hoped Emilia and Wrath might become a powerful duo (like Feyre and Rhysand or Jude and Cardan), but how gravely disappointed I was! If you’re in it for spice, you’ll be equally frustrated with the whole ordeal of getting through this book. Apart from a little tension, you get nothing. 🌶
3. I didn’t get the ending. Like, not at all. Plot twists seemed to happen at random and I can’t believe I’d been that patient only to be let down. 🥲
