Wicked Saints by Emily A. Duncan
3.0
3.5 ✨ from me!
Overall, it was a fun and enjoyable read. The characters were morally grey and the magic system was interesting! I felt myself very immersed in the end and relatively surprised by the plot twists as they came.
Downsides of the book for me was partly the romance. While I like the forbidden lovers/enemy lovers romance situation, I felt like the romance moved way too quickly without actually showing me why these characters even like each other? They just all the sudden wanted to kiss and it seemed out of nowhere to me. Would have loved to see more emotionally intimate moments and a slower build up for these characters, especially as they’re starting as enemies!
Other downside was that I felt a lot of things about this world and the magic system was glossed over and not explained to the fullest extent. I found myself a bit confused on dynamics and why these two kingdoms are truly at war.
Despite the downsides, I definitely want to continue the series! I’m curious on where the story will go and hopefully see more things explained!
