This is an amazing sequel. It gave me everything I wanted and added to what was written before without taking away. I loved every second of it and needed to keep reading. The only issue I have now is waiting for the Kind of the Feared to be released.

This book had a lot of focus on Emilia looking into the curse set on the devil. Throughout the book she is discovering lies and secrets everywhere and tries to make sense of everything she has been told. On top of that she is dealing with her emotions towards Wrath. This book does a really good job of balancing the those two story lines with one another, never letting one over take the other for too long. I love how all the different story threads came together with some resolutions, but others leaving you with more questions.

The characters are a lot of fun in this book. There is a lot of different dynamics and interactions that keeps everything exciting and fresh. We get to meet more of the Princes of the Wicked and as well as the other inhabitants in the Wicked. These new and old characters alike did a lot to grow the established lore of this world.

I cannot wait for the third book to come out. The ending of this had me on the edge of my chair screaming as I closed the book. It has been so much fun reading this and falling in love with the world and characters.
