Kingdom of the Feared: The Sunday Times and New York Times bestselling steamy finale to the Kingdom of the Wicked series

Product Information

I also really really reeeeeeeeally loved we got to see more of the other demon princes and the witches lore was interesting to learn about. 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. Twisted though it may be, that was the power of love. It could usher in warmth and light, and it could also turn a single ember into a raging inferno, destroying those who threatened it. Love might be the worst sin of them all, with its two sides." 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.

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].

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?! bold of you to assume your pussy would taste like a royal feast. as a regal resident of hell, all i could think of was this Finally, I can't not mention the world-building. I think the underworld Maniscalco's created is interesting and while hell looks more like the set of Bridgerton than the fire and torture version we're all used to, it was a nice take and an effort I didn't dislike. 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.

I’m so annoyed. The first half of this book was going pretty strong. The plot was getting convoluted, but I wasn’t reading for that (😏), so I kept rolling. I'll start by saying sex ≠ romance. I wish people nowadays understood that. I have nothing against sex in romance books or in real life. I love reading smutty books. What I have something against though is when the whole relationship development is based on that alone, with no further romantic elements. This is not an erotica book. If so, I wouldn't say a damn thing. This is romantic fantasy/fantasy romance. Add to that that it's also marketed as YA novel, something this book is clearly not when you explicitly tell your readers she gave a blowjob in a gondola and swallowed too.

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. 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.

okay after that ending, i can literally picture this being called Kingdom of the Damned and the cover being red LIKE I FEEL IT WOULD WORK SO WELL😩 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). After that, I'll dig out all the Kerri Maniscalco's books I haven't read, and binge on them like there's no tomorrow. The Barnes & Noble Exclusive Edition features a unique cover and contains a spicy bonus chapter from Envy's point of view.I'll begin by saying that this series started out strong. The first book was excellent. The second was less so, but I thought it was just a bridge type of sequel in a trilogy, so I didn't mind that it was overly long and that nothing important seemed to happen. I thought the second book was just setting up an epic ending, and I was excited for it. Wrath was great but honestly I was even underwhelmed by him. The romance that we’ve all been waiting for for 2 books was steamy, yes, but I felt like his actual character got completely watered down.

And don't even get me started on the overly excessive descriptions of everything, whether it be a place, a room or an article of clothing, and Emilia's repeating thoughts worded slightly different over and over again. No, ma'am. Sure, all the questions I've had ever since I first read KotW were answered, but I didn't expect them to be presented so matter-of-factly and with little to no conflict. I'm sorry in advance if this bunch of nonsense will be full of typos and incongruous, but it's late and I've been awake since 2012, but I just finished this book and I can't start another one or do anything else really, without putting down some thoughts, first) I'm lowering my rating to 2 stars, because while writing this review i realized i was too generous with my original rating. i love the direction this series went with book #2, and i think this concluding installment does the overall story justice. its books like these that perfectly argue why the NA genre needs to be more of a thing in the publishing world.don’t even ask me what happened in this book…because i don’t know. i feel like i lost a lot of my initial interest during the wait for this book and i didn’t remember much of what happened in the previous books so 😭😭
