A review by drivemecrazy
King of Battle and Blood by Scarlett St. Clair
2.0
I'm not sure why I finished this book. The twist was so obvious and introduced so early on that the climax was about as entertaining as the spicy scenes, which felt forced to move the plot along.
The world building in this was very messy and didn't pull me in. The writing is similar to FBAA in that the heroine is constantly asking questions and learning about some ridiculous tradition/monster/historical plot point. Isolde was incredibly unlikeable for me. All she did was flip flop on her feelings for Adrian and stab people.
I've read all of the Hades & Persephone books by this author and enjoyed A Touch of Darkness. But between the most recent books from that series and this, the writing has really taken a turn for the worse.
