A review by rebeccareads08
Kingdom of the Feared by Kerri Maniscalco
2.0
Yeah so I pretty much hated this book. I had such high hopes bc I loved the first book, second wasn’t great but I thought the story would payoff in this final installment. It didn’t. This book was written and planned so poorly I barely made it through the whole thing.
The whole plot went out the window in favor of the main characters lusting after each other, and before you get excited, no it’s not even good smut. It’s cringy and ridiculous. No one has any character development the “mystery” and questions we were waiting for answers on were glossed over. And the first person narration was horrible!!! Emilia waxes poetic about every non emotion Wrath has for pages even though outwardly he’s just standing there! Ok! And If I had to read Emilia talking about how fierce she is for one more page I would have exploded. She should be the goddess of narcissism!
There is something that happens toward the end that was my breaking point, it’s a serious no no for me for my FMCs. I won’t spoil it but WTF!
