Enjoyable end to their tale and the series. Makes you want to read about the rest of the princes for their own stories.I liked that it didn’t end predictably and that the evil characters aren’t so evil after all. Lol! I’m curious to read about Pride & Greed’s story now.3.5⭐️3🌶️

“Subtlety isn’t your strong suit.”“Subtlety is for cowards, my lady.”The way it hurts because this is not a 5 star for me is just unbelievable lol but only because I absolutely adored this series so much and this one is my highly anticipated read for the whole of 2022. While I enjoyed it on a high level since you get answers to the questions we wanted, I am unfortunately underwhelmed by the installment. It was quite inconsistent on so many aspects in comparison to her other two books, I absolutely enjoyed KOTW and LOVED KOTC although it veered off in an unexpected path. I loved how it surprised me and challenged me as a reader trying to solve the mysteryWhat I liked:-YA to NA transition-Answered the nagging questions-Envy's character and dialogues-The most awaited romance that finally happens-The foreshadowing for possible future books-Bittersweet moments with Wrath-The air of intrigue and the concept of shadow realm-The wicked, cursed and feared world as a wholeWhat I struggled with:Kingdom of the Feared starts off where we left off in KOTC and in fact starts off strong but it quickly became confusing because of the way the author chose to play out the plot, the pacing was off and the story is all over the place. I was taken aback by how the characterizations have drastically changed from how they were initially presented, yes some of them had a reason and yet I felt the transition wasn't as smooth. Emilia's and a certain come back character's characters were inconsistent most of the times, instead of coming off as strong because of constant weathering of storms, Emilia comes off as unsure and confused, I enjoy a good character arc from being a naive heroine to a powerful protagonist but her character did not do it for me.I was also upset about how Wrath's character had to take a back seat and how we got a watered down version of fierce, witty demon from hell. I understand this is Emilia's moment to shine but his character is quite underutilized. There were spicy scenes and to Kerri's credit she did well with them but after the first one, I thought their placement was odd hence losing the emotional value. I missed the angst and the connection Emilia and Wrath had in the first two booksThere were too many sub-plots going on which I was invested in BUT they should've been established in KOTC rather than dropping them out of blue in this book but again that is my personal opinion. My other major issue is lack of strong antagonist and presenting crucial plot twists in a "matter of fact" tone, which in turn took away the conflict points and the anticipation that comes with the conflict. There were so many loose ends or the solutions at times felt too convenient, I felt like the ending is unsatisfying and frustrating because I had way too many questions even after I finished the book.I loved Envy and Pride and wished to be more invested in their characters, with all the foreshadowing I am hoping we get more books with them so I can appease a little bit of my unsatisfied feelings.

KM thank you so much for this book. You are a genius. This book is one of best books i read this MONTH, YEAR even. Seriously 👌👌👌 PURE PERFECTION. This book deserves much more than 10 stars WOW 😲😲😲 What i liked in this book? EVERYTHING: the relationship btw our main couple, the steamy scenes (so well written 😳🤤)After reading the book i completely fall in love with Wrath's character. What a character. I loved everything he did since the beginning to the end of the book... and what a end!!! The scenes with the wings (yes both scenes) just loved it 😍 they are perfect 👌 i'm ruined because of this book. Other stuff i loved:The scenes btw Emilia and one of the brothers, specially the one who turned out to be a closest friend in the end. After Wrath, he turned out to be my second favorite. The final scenes btw Victoria and Emilia. I loved the way it ended for them. I read this book in two days. I would love to read more books about this universe. What about Lucia and Pride? The book ended with a lot of potencial for other stories. I would certainly read more about this brothers, with Emilia and Wrath in the mix helping as well, bc they are just perfect 👌 Emilia flashbacks scenes about her and Wrath and the memory scenes in the well: Awesome! The scenes between all the brothers. They are all so interesting and their scenes are so well written. I loved Emili'a story and her powers and what she and Wrath did to each other for love, Wrath's actions everytime Emilia was in danger, what he was able to do to get to her 😍 the same applies for Emilia about Wrath everytime he was hurt or in danger. Just perfect. I'm so glad to have found this books. Thank you Kerri. Don't stop writing 😊

Found the first book on Libby. Cound not put down. I read all three in a week and a half. Amazing detail to characters and back stories. Would love if author would do a book dedicated to each house of sin. Give the back story to how the curse effected each brother differently. I truly enjoyed reading this trilogy. So many twist and turns.
