it’s been exactly a year since I was last in the universe of KINGDOM OF THE WICKED, and it was like coming home to old friends 🥹 I beg kerri to keep writing more stories about the princes of hell because these are just too dang good!!!
while it’s not a necessity to read the KOTW trilogy before reading this one, it certainly gives a lot of background and elaborates on past events only hinted at in this one … I would recommend it!
focusing on envy this time and his quest to save his kingdom, this slow-burn romantasy did not disappoint! teaming up with mortal camilla, envy and camilla both refuse to act upon their desires for each other solely because envy is afraid (I know lil man child problems)
while the first 30% of the book moved glacier slow and had me questioning if this story really needed to be this long (the answer is still no), the second half was way more action packed and revealed countless secrets!! including ones I saw coming and ones that obliterated my mind 😅🤯
after getting to know envy in the KOTW series, it was refreshing to be in his thoughts and feelings 🥹 I just adore a man child sometimes who acts big and strong but really craves love and adoration
now … GIVE ME PRIDE’S STORY!!!! I need his and lucia’s book asap!!!!
