Ok so, I know what you're going to say but I just didn't like the characters in this book. That's not to say it's a bad book but in my opinion, I didn't really like Isabella or Kai as main characters. Now this isn't a "bad" book per se, it was an enjoyable read. However, the characters were so frustrating to read about that all the typical enjoyment of an Ana Huang book was sucked from my soul. Starting with Isabella, I didn't really like her in King of Wrath so I wasn't expecting that to change (spoiler, it didn't. Overall, her story was based on how she wanted to write a book, sure, fine, whatever, but this girl could not write the book. She spends most of King of Pride only writing 20 pages of this book which is her "dream". Then her family is concerned for her (specifically her brother) and they offer her an opportunity for a stable job to which she says no and even gets mad at her brother for suggesting it. It's fine if she doesn't want the job but her excuse is that she's writing her book and that is what annoys me because the girl can't even write a book! I don't know, I just felt that her heart wasn't in it if it was taking such a toll on her and her family. It's fine if she wants to live her life that way, but don't get mad at your family for trying to help. Anyways, mini rant over, Isabella just made me mad as a reader and Kai was also kinda a boring male lead so I didn't care too much about them. Either way, I got through it, and if this is your favorite book I am sorry but I don't think it fits my tastes. In general, there is always one book in the series that's tough to get through and I believe this book was it for me. So here's hoping the rest are amazing!
