Wrathful King
by Eva Winners
'A trilogy that ends quite literally with a bang. Several of them. Wrathful King brings to a close one of the most explosive & best series' out there' - The British Bibliophile
Thank you to Eva Winners for sending me an ebook Advanced Readers Copy for me to read and leave an honest review, as part of her ARC team
NOTE - This review will be spoiler free as always, but will make reference to elements within Wrathful King's book blurb, as well as a general recap of the past two books. If you wish to read this book without knowing a single thing, please scroll away from my review...now :)
Wrathful King is the third and final instalment in Eva Winners' Stolen Empire trilogy series. A three-part series comprising of three equally as encapsulating reads detailing the timeline journey of its two main characters and their story of true love, loss, healing and hope. Not counting the blood, violence, death and destruction facing them at every turn on the road to happily ever after as King and Queen.
As this is a trilogy, Wrathful King should not be read first. Start with Savage Prince before moving onto Unforgiving Queen and finally, Wrathful King . Otherwise the series of events will be completely out of order, won't make sense and you're more likely to spoil something for yourself accidentally.
*Top Tip: Read Eva's Belles & Mobsters series for added content into characters that appear throughout this Stolen Empire series.
If you've been following the trilogy so far--which I sincerely hope that many readers have been--you'll know exactly what's been going on and down for Amon and Reina. Fair to say, it's not been a quiet or boring ride for either of them up until this point. As children first born into mafia families, it wasn't going to be the regular life for them right from the outset.
Meeting at a tender age for both Amon and Reina, the two were always destined to meet. They just didn't know at the time, that there were other forces at work which would've brought them together if not for their first initial--and humorous--meeting all those years ago. Their paths kept crossing until one day, their fates were intwined and from then on out, the two were to navigate what destiny had in store for them.
For Princes and Princesses, Kings and Queens, the happily ever after begins the second they say 'I do', and begin their new lives together as one. Amon and Reina may have skipped and gone back a chapter or two, but they were at last--at the end of Unforgiving Queen -- heading towards said happily ever after, after much turmoil, suffering, love lost and found. Unfortunately for them, it seems their happily ever after was not yet meant to begin. There are more chapters to be told of their story, which first begins with ripping their chances of being together firmly apart. Permanently.
Or so it seems. There is as always, more to the story than what lies upon the surface.
After secrets kept hidden had been unravelled and the bitter truth twisted before it set him free, there's nothing that will stop Amon Leone from fighting for his Queen. Fighting is usually left to the knights, but this is one King who will get his boots on the ground to bring back his one true love, his Queen, even if it was the last thing he ever did.
Amon and Reina made a promise to one another. 'You and me against the world . She was his, and he was hers. Together, they'd stand side by side and face the unprecedented events that would forever encircle them as part of them being born into a world that faces to tear them apart and test them until they're down on their knees, spent and begging for mercy. Now facing the fight alone until his Queen once more stands at his side, Amon Leone plans to win the ultimate fight and risk all he has and is for the woman that is his heart and life.
Having been an Eva Winners reader for quite a while now and as such, having read a varying multitude of her books, I can say hand on heart that this series--along with the Belles & Mobsters--is not only up there in the top series in which Eva has produced, but is up there with my favourite of all time. Hands down. With the Belles & Mobsters series, we saw a huge timeline and series of events spread out over the course of a number of books, each book focusing on a different pair of main characters. This time around, we've got the same set of characters spread across three books, allowing for a more in-depth and detailed story and I truly felt like we've got to know these two and those in their close circles, more intensely and deeply. Feeling like we not simply know them as characters in a book, but that we feel we truly know them.
This final instalment in the trilogy answered SO many questions we were left asking after reading book two--with a few 'gasp out loud' surprises too because come on, Eva is a Queen at that!--ramped up the drama, gore, action, emotion and everything that I've come to know and love about one of my must read/favourite authors.
I'm never not impressed with Eva and just how much she keeps giving us with each new book and series. Noticing the way she goes from strength to strength in each book, clearly displaying the positive changes and ways in which she is growing in her writing, characters, storytelling and building of worlds and everything within them, only reinforces that this is what she's meant to do and how we are meant to love her. Her writing speaks volumes of her talent and I'm here to see where she takes us next and to watch her grow even more.
Five stars for Amon, Reina & of course, Eva!
