A review by thepaperbackcompany
King of Wrath by Ana Huang
3.0
The plot:
Almost 80% of the book was Dante and Vivian, getting to know each other, sexual tensions, Dante getting jealous, Vivian just existing, them having sex. It wasn't boring. Just the regular stuff. They were cute together, but after so many romance books like this, they failed to impress me. You can read it as a book you read when you don't have anything else to read or to get the whole of twisted universe.
The smut was disgusting. I hated it more than I hated "crawl to me".
I mainly read this book for the drama that will make it's way through after the plot twist. I wanted to feel the pain and the betrayal. Insert flashbacks of me sobbing about twisted hate. But unfortunately the plot twist fell flat, and the chapters after that felt so dragged, mostly cause all my excitement was washed down by then.
After twisted hate, i expected a huge one from Ana.
The characters:
Dante is an idiot more than an asshole and
Vivian is a sweetheart, tho she gotta put those huge family values aside and think for herself. Kai and Isa were intriguing.
Just when i thought it couldn't get any more clichéd, Dante's groveling lines were so corny. "The way your eyes crinkle when you laugh"
"You take the most ordinary or unexpected things and make them extraordinary. You see the silver lining in every situation and the good in everyone, even if they don’t deserve it"
The man was so deprived of genuine human connection that Vivian just existing made him worship her. Yeah well, love does crazy things to people.
I like Dante and Vivian. They are not this extraordinary duo of lovers, but yeah well, i didn't despise them.
Overall, it was a good book.
NOT BAD, NOT GOOD.
