A Kingdom of Flame and Fury by Whitney Dean

3.0

This book needs more trigger warnings than was advertised. I’m giving this a solid 3⭐️

I wanted raven to be more of a bad ass than she was. Half the time she was being a petulant child- her character is 25 with the emotional maturity of an 13 yo. She just comes off as spoiled and possessive in really weird kind of childish ways.

There is a love triangle and it’s terrible. Both guys are controlling and they’re both assholes. One more so than the other in my opinion but whatever. There are some less than consensual scenes in this book as a heads up and some really f*cked up ideas around sex in general but to be fair it’s a dark fantasy and a dark romance.

I was actually really invested in the story and appreciated it. It did not need to be 600+ pages but it’s also super okay that it was. I would love for raven to find herself and stand up for herself more and learn more about her magic. Fingers crossed for book two. I’ll likely be reading it.
