The Traitor's Kingdom by Erin Beaty
3.0

...I finished this and it was...okay?



I LOVED the first book and I adored the sequel but this one really fell flat for me. The first 30% felt pointless and was pretty boring, then came the interesting part which was eventually ruined for me because I knew who the villain was the moment we meet this character. It was obvious this character was hiding something and I just couldn't enjoy it fully because I kept waiting for the rest of the characters to keep up and figure it out, but they didn't until the very end -.-

Despite it being predictable, the plot wasn't all that bad - there were some interesting scenes and I loved it when the MCs were separated because then they focused on the mission at hand instead of on each other. The whole "will they marry or not" situation got boring quite fast - I mean, we already spent the entire 2nd book waiting for it and instead of just getting rid of it at the beginning of this one, it had to drag throughout the whole book.

The ending was completely HEA and I was all into it, that was actually one of the only things that made me want to finish it. I just wanted these characters to be happy for once XD And I got what I wanted, I just wish it didn't take 384 pages of going through "I want to marry her but I can't because reasons"; "he doesn't want to marry me and I get it but also I don't" to get to it :/
