Nou dit boek was al 10x beter dan deel 2. De limited editions zijn echt prachtig en de art ook. Ik vond deel 1 van alle drie het beste. Hier kwam de italiaanse sfeer naar voren en de spice stond niet centraal. In deel 2 kwam weer te veel spice voor. In deel 3 was hier meer een balans in, wel vond ik de momenten soms wat raar gekozen. De spanning en het plot in dit deel was veel beter dan de vorige delen. Er is voldoende spanning en er gebeurd genoeg. Wel vond ik het weer net iets te snel gaan. Ineens gebeurde er dingen die niet logisch waren op dat moment. Het had beter verdeeld en ingeleid kunnen worden. Deze serie voelt in mijn mening ook niet aan als serie, meer als drie losse boeken die wat overeenkomsten hebben. Ze hebben alle drie totaal anderen vibes. Wel vind ik de prinsen echt top, hier wil ik dan ook meer over lezen. Emilia is soms gwn niet logisch en Vittoria ook niet. Ze zijn apart in hun keuzes. 

Ik ga wel de aansluitende serie hierop lezen, want ik ben nog lang niet klaar met de prinsen!

The steamy scenes use naive language in my opinion, and made it cringey. Great concept for a book though.

I was so pumped for the plot in this book and then I felt like it was basically just lots of smut every chapter. Like every other scene there was more sexy times. And while that’s not necessarily a bad thing, and sometimes that’s exactly what you want out of a book, the fact that I was SO excited for the plot reveals meant that I was disappointed by how long it took for things to reveal themselves. I wanted more political court intrigue than I ended up getting. I really wanted to love this book, but I just kept finding myself being disappointed hoping for more plot. But once the plot reveals started happening they were quite exciting, and the characters were fun, I just wanted more of that drama™️. I felt like the romance kept interrupting the plot and didn’t really fit in seamlessly. I don’t know, I think the fact that I was expecting more to happen and then not feeling like it really did was sort of disappointing to me. I think the book could’ve been edited down a bit or something. But, that said, the plot reveals that did take place were quite exciting. And one of them I totally didn’t see coming. But there were also some plot lines that just kind of didn’t end up going anywhere which was a little odd to me. Like the vampires and the witches plot lines just sort of disappeared at the end. Anyway, if you’re expecting the book to be 50% smut and 50% plot going into it then you might enjoy it more than me, I just felt I had different expectations for it and therefore was kind of disappointed when they weren’t met. But that’s on me!

Holy spice! LOL, I do love spicy romance books! And amazing audio between a great narrator and sound effects! The story was pretty good too. I liked how it ended and who she ended up being. Lots of great quotes as well! Overall an excellent book!

Left feeling more confused with the plot holes but didn’t hate this last book entirely. Like why was Vesta so important when there were more pressing issues? Was it one or two curses happening at the same time? Celestia asked for her spell book but never got it, so what was the point of that? It would have also been nice to see all the other princes more fleshed out. So many subplots and side characters that I lost track of. 

There was so much description of Emilia being this powerful and scary Goddess of Fury but I barely saw her demonstrate that. All bark but no bite…
And Vittoria’s character had me scratching my head. Was I supposed to hate her guts or love her like she was my own sis? She flip flopped so many times I gave up trying to figure her out. Bumped up 1/2 a star because the smut wasn’t too bad 🤷🏽‍♀️
