Why did I wait so long to read this series?? It’s so fucking good!! This last book has been an absolutely amazing reading experience. All the puzzle pieces are finally falling into place, everything is on fire and Damen and Laurent are the ones who’re burning it all down. I love that everyone in the book is absolutely gobsmacked at how quickly things are turned on their heads. It had me giggling, because everyone completely underestimates Laurent in every possible way. And I loved that Damen was down for all of it. Kings Rising was such a fantastic read and it’s getting a solid five stars!

Tense to the very end. I kept having to check how many pages I had left. No matter how nervous it made me, I did really like how the whole story played out. I didn't expect the twist. It wrapped everything up nicely. I wish the ending wasn't so abrupt, I wanted a little more. I definitely will be picking up the short stories and hoping to get a little more happily ever.

I finally started to like Laurent in this book, Damen is my sweet cinnamon roll and anyone who does him harm I hate. So, it was really hard to like Laurent for a lot of the series, but finally, we started to see a lot of his background and his thought process. The side characters in this book also had some interesting storylines, Jocasta, in particular.

The ending felt simultaneously cathartic and in part a bit underwhelming. The plot point of Damen's potential child irritated me a little bit, because I just can't understand why it would matter that much, even it were 100% his child. Royal bloodline I guess, but it seems kinda stupid.

This is where we finally fully get to the "lovers" part of "enemies to lovers", and it's done incredibly well. I can fully understand why the characters behaved and felt the way they did in the beginning, and also exactly why the nature of their actions and feelings gradually changed.
