I love the atmosphere “Kingdom of The Wicked” creates – witchy rituals, dark alleys, summons, bonds, gory murders – that was all great. Unfortunately, everything else falls flat.
The characters are one-dimensional and serve mostly as a background for Emilia, our MC. Emilia herself is a very simplistic character, the one who doesn’t take much time to create. The demons are tragically caricaturical. Wrath is stripped of anything demonic whatsoever.
The plot unravels by itself, meaning things just happen. And, as mentioned many times before by other readers, everything Italian was butchered by the author.
All in all, “Kingdom of The Wicked” is a fast-paced, entertaining and fun read. But not much more.
