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!

by far the best one of the series. emilia finally became not-annoying, and i enjoyed
vittoria
a lot. i wish there had been more dialogue with nonna, because it felt like that was rather easily wrapped up despite the depth of their relationship when the twins were growing up. finally i kind of wish that
emilia had remained without her powers at the end. it felt like there was so much significance in her making that choice, and for the narrative to feel more solid i think it should’ve been permanent. wrath being able to split his power and give her back her powers exactly as they had been before felt a bit deus ex machina esque.

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

Finally finished the trilogy! Hats off to its detailed and creative plot input. It is one of those books that is easy to consume and that you can be fond of. Though the sensual parts were on the extreme wavelength, the twists and thrills around the book leave you satisfied. So many mysteries were unraveled, and there was more room if Vittoria had a story to tell of her own—I'd gladly read it. Overall, it's a satisfying read, though it's too bad Gluttony and Sloth didn't have much of an appearance. I'd love to take up more of them too.
