A review by kaehlarobinson
Academy of Villains - Nyx & Erebus by Ever King
4.0
Kiara is an assassin tasked with killing the prince of her kingdom. She must enter the magic academy the prince attends and complete her kill, but instead finds herself entering the academy with magical abilities she was previously unaware of. Kiara believes she can end the curse on the kingdom by completing her task.
In a magical academy setting, with games and trials and secret societies, there is plenty to love about this story. Kiara is headstrong and struggles with the introduction to her magical abilities as a rare and powerful mage. She has to integrate into the school and form relationships, and trust her new friend Octavia to help her through classes.
Lucian, the cursed prince, learns about more about the kingdom and non magical people from Kiara, who has grown up away from mages and high society. Though he is privileged and powerful, he shows he is so much more than that.
The minor characters in this story were vibrant, whether the spoilt students challenging Kiara’s right to be there, the professors who make an example of her, Lucian’s friends or Octavia supporting Kiara.
The plot was well structured, though I’m not familiar with the story of Nyx and Erebus to know whether this aligns closely to it. I loved the trials toward the end of the story.
I enjoyed this story and will definitely keep an eye out for the next book in the series, and future releases from Ever King.
