there was nothing. truly, this book is more so about explaining all the ominous shit that happened in the first two books. Emilia puts the pieces together (or is blatantly told what happened), and every mysterious encounter she’s previously had now makes sense. which was a relief, to be honest, because it did answer some questions that previously really bugged me😭 but this meant there was no actual plot for this book. When a high-ranking member of House Greed is assassinated, damning evidence somehow points toVittoriaas the murderer. Now, Emilia will do anything to get to the bottom of these accusations against the sister she thought she knew. I also didn't like the fact that the hints for a spin-off that were thrown in the book revolved around one man and two women. If there is indeed a spin-off in the future, I wish I'm wrong and the author doesn't pit two women against each other for a man, who's canonically unfaithful and doesn't deserve either of them. Let the girlies end up together. Now, that's something I'd like to read.

Pride and Lucia >>>>>> Pride and Vittoria. ily girl, but Lucia and Pride are serving all the best tropes. i have a vision of Vittoria being sapphic, tell me y’all don’t see it too?!so, now that ive finished this trilogy, i honestly feel indifferent more than anything. despite my very long review full of opinions... this whole trilogy has been pretty average and underwhelming. i think it had the bones to be a lot more complex than what it was, but Maniscalco just didn’t delve deep enough either the characters while focusing too heavily on a smutty romance that felt like catering to fan-service more than it being relevant to the actual story. The author completely messed up in this one. I think the sole purpose to write this book for her was to write smut, which is nicely done but the overall plot has nothing to offer. One of the things that I loved the most about this series is that the general setting and the characters reminded me of one of my favorite trilogies, The Worldwalker by Josephine Angelini, and the whole atmosphere gave me major Constantine meets and have a threesome with ACOMAF vibes; it basically was a mix of a lof of pieces of media I simply adore, with the addiction of an original plot and an enemies-to-lovers romance to die for. Go to hell? Gladly, as long as it’s the version in Kingdom of the Feared by Kerri Maniscalco, and the Prince of Wrath is my betrothed. Done and done.

This book also had way too many loose ends for my taste. A lot of random arcs that just got lost in the main plot line which wasn't even a proper plot as I mentioned before. I'm lowering my rating to 2 stars, because while writing this review i realized i was too generous with my original rating. Fortunately I found that things do improve about halfway through as the various plot threads are given a chance to settle and the overall pieces of the puzzle start to come together. I had some issues with how things wrap up, but before I get into spoiler territory, can I just touch on the spice level for this one? Good god. (Sorry, I mean devil.) Despite much of the book being set in a literal frozen hellscape, the author really turns up the heat up this time around. You can expect an abundance of [redacted] being put in [redacted] and then even some [redacted] getting [redacted]. There are so many more things I could say about this book, but I'm trying to keep this review as spoiler-free as I can and I wouldn't be able to collect all the thoughts I have roaming around my head right now, anyway, so I'll just leave it here and maybe revise it in a couple months.It's not a completely positive one, but I'd like to spend a moment before the book analysis to tell whoever's reading this that, yep, this final book was objectively disappointing, but in my heart, it was also a perfectly imperfect novel that I don't regret reading. whenever Emilia and Wrath were together, all her thoughts revolves around sex. all of the detrimental, urgent issues surrounding her become non-existent the moment her mind drifts to sex. Thinking of waves lapping made me think of Wrath’s skilled tongue and all the things he’d done to me with it. I squeezed my eyes shut, but that only brought on memories of Wrath between my thighs, a king indulging in a royal feast.

There is also a very common YA fantasy romance trope that happens in this book that I don’t want to give away since it’s a new release. However, I am so mad that Maniscalco put this in the book, regardless of the ending. The feminist in me was screaming. this is also the spoilery part of my review, so congratulations on making it this far! you got through all of my whinging... enjoy the rest of my review where i also whinge, just with a few spoilers here and there). I should have lowered my expectations for this one, then I wouldn't have been so disappointed. I don't even remember why or how I liked the second book.

In addition, naturally, Emilia and Wrath are the same sexy badasses that they were in the last two books. Even more so than before, actually. It's amazing to see them both reach their full potential. Plus, their dynamic and chemistry hit new heights. They are finally together and, therefore, become a team. They work so well together, they understand and love each other so deeply nothing can get between them. Not any amount of magic, curse, or manipulation thrown their way. They find each other again, no matter what. Their relationship is so beautiful and emotional, and it wrapped up so wonderfully. firstly, my main issue with this book is the way it’s been labelled and promoted— someone needs to deep-dive into the progressing phenomenon of smutty fantasy romances being marketed as YA books. or just generally, books with explicit content being promoted as YA. because it’s becoming so commonplace now and i find it so odd that it’s allowed? I forgot to mention Emilia got on my nerves a lot. Not just because of her sex-crazed state, but because I felt like she was trying too hard to be tough and badass. I don't quite know how to explain it. She just gave off weird vibes the whole time. but im so glad im finally done with this series, it was a mess lmao. and i will be waiting for the spin off💅🏻
