4.5

• 🌶️3.5 . There was alot of great tension and well written spice. It felt like an adult wrote these scenes and they were well done.
• This is like if Bridgerton, the show Lucifer, and the Fae universe had a baby. The world was super interesting.
• The book was difficult starting but once you are past the first couple of chapters you won’t be able to put it down. It sucks you in to the game being played.
• The plot twists were EXCELLENT and kept coming.
• Honestly, this could be a 5 star read I just don’t love plots about games, but this was by far one of the best conceptually.
• This can be read as a standalone or a part of the authors universe. I read it as a standalone and had no trouble following anything.

After the incredible let down that was Kingdom of the Feared, I was a bit apprehensive to read this book. I was, however, pleasantly surprised. I loved the juxtaposition between the Regency England-esque human realm and the underworld. Where I think the Kingdom trilogy found itself awkwardly straddling between YA and adult, Throne of the Fallen is undoubtedly an adult novel, and suitably spicy to match.
