Kingdom of the Wicked by Kerri Maniscalco
3.0

2.5/5

Easy and fun read if you are looking to plunge into the world of YA supernatural. Whilst I enjoyed this book for what it was, Emilia ended up semi-ruining it for me. I loved Wrath, as well as all of the other villains, but I simply couldn't wrap my head around the lack of critical thinking on Emilia's part - every single choice she made was achieved through approximately 3% logic and good sense. Which is pretty low if you're the antagonist of the book and trying to survive this impending demon-lead apocalypse. Another problem I had was honestly how weak the Princes of Hell seemed compared to a young witch? It seems the rules of their powers kept bending to fit the story best and that ended making them look a lot less powerful.
Nonetheless, I had fun with this book and am curious to read Kingdom of the Cursed.
