I am... soooo in love with this book!! 6 stars, S-Tier, Godsend of a book. One of my favorites, I teared up when it was over. You know a book is good when you suddenly look up and the sun is peaking out, then you talk to yourself in the mirror about everything that happened... or that just might be me and I might be insane, but thats okay 😭😭 If you like Kate from Bridgerton, then you'll love the FMC Camilla. If you like Loki from the Marvel series then you'll love the MMC Envy. This is my first book we I feel like I loved the FMC, more than the MMC! (I  love them both don't get me wrong lol), but Camilla is that bxtch, okay?! The chemistry, tension, betrayal, heartbreak, adventure, mystery was so beautiful packed into this book and wrapped up with the prettiest purple bow at the end.💜💜 I haven't read Kingdom Of The Wicked yet, but I am very excited to get into it now! I don't think you necessarily need to read Kingdom Of The Wicked before you start Throne Of The Fallen. The world setting was easy to understand (very Bridgerton-esque) and the plot is separate from those books so it's okay to read by itself! 😊😊 If you're on the fence about reading it... this is your sign to pick it up and read it!

Firstly, This Book Should’ve been Shorter. If The Book is around 600 pages or more, It needs to be Really Good to keep the readers hooked. The Author Dragged it to a point of Irritation. Secondly, I’m All For Enemies to Lovers, but Envy and Camilla didn’t have any Emotional Depth whatsoever. It was Pure Lust converted into Instant Romantic Love in the Most Absurd way possible. There was No Emotional Value to Their Boring ‘Romance’. The Smut was Borderline Cringey. The World Building Could’ve been better. I enjoyed the Side Characters and the Interactions between the Princes of Sin Though.

My favorite read of 2024 ✨️

The banter and sexual tension between Envy and Camilla had me giggling like a schoolgirl. The way that she turned his sin back on him time and time again.

I don't normally leave reviews but honestly this book was far better than expected. The banter was bantering, the story was actually deep and had some solid plot twists and I felt like all of the smut was well deserved and not just put in there because the author felt like it. Speaking of, you can tell this was written by a woman who knows what women like. This will be a book I read again because having hindsight would make it even more fun to read

Okay, clearly "romantasy" is not for me. They are so damn repetitive - I want you, but I shouldn't, let's have sex about it, but I doooo, but I shouldn't, so let's have sex about it, but I can't, but I must, so let's have sex about it. Like....... I don't know how long people expect me to care about that dynamic but it is roughly three hundred pages longer than I have so far. Also, I have yet to find one with sex scenes that are even half as good as a good fanfic, lol.
