"Throne of the Fallen" is the latest fantasy stand-a-lone from Kerri Maniscalco. Prince of Envy is trying to protect his court, so when he receives a cryptic note, he has no other choice but enter a deadly game. Camilla has gotten on the wrong side of a very influential enemy. She is now being blackmailed, and in an effort to not be involved in a scandal, she is forced to work with Envy. The pair go on a journey through the Underworld and are trying very hard to not fall in love.
I was really excited to pick up this book, but unfortunately, I did not enjoy it as much as I thought I would. The story ended up being way too long, and it took me a LONG time to really get into it. I loved seeing the passion and chemistry between Envy and Camilla, but the rest of the story really dragged for me.
This book does have some great world building, and I think Kerri Maniscalco has really found her place in what to write about. I was also shocked by some of the reveals at the end, which was a fun way to conclude the story.
Although slightly disappointed by this book, I will still read from Kerri Maniscalco in the future.Â
