Kingdom of the Feared, by Kerri Maniscalco
5.0
4.5* Stars
I loved this series and completely devoured this finale. I am so glad I reread the first two books to get the full impact of all of the reveals and twists. I think this ended a bit of a reading slump for me (hopefully) so I will also forever thank it for that!
For those that aren't familiar with this series, we follow Emilia, who is a young witch in historical Italy. At the beginning of the first book, her twin sister Vittoria is brutally murdered, along with a few other witches. In order to try and figure out who the murderer is and get revenge, she ends up summoning Wrath, one of the Princes of Hell, one of the Wicked! What follows is an unlikely alliance as they try to uncover the murderer, as well as learn about the curse put on the Wicked!
Kingdom of the Feared built on this unique world in a very fast-paced and exciting manner. It answered so many questions, gave us the romance and spice we all wanted, and actually opened it up for more stories in this world, which I wouldn't say no to. I was surprised by the direction it took, but was not disappointed. Emilia grew so much. I was a little worried about her development at one point, but Kerri Maniscalco came through and it worked so well. And I just LOVE Wrath. There are so many layers to his character and finally seeing him able to unleash himself was amazing.
With all of the twists and reveals, I did feel like I lost track of a few things, so that's the only reason I rated this 4.5 stars. Otherwise, I absolutely loved it and I can see myself rereading this series. Would highly recommend!
