I was falling into a bit of a reading slump but this pulled me right back out. I put off reading this for a few years because I hate the cover art. So long that I forgot the synopsis and didn’t even realize it’s about witches. Love.
The seven deadly sins are people in this book. Someone is killing witches and an old prophecy is being set into motion. After Emilia’s sister is murdered, she sets out to find the killer. She summons a prince of hell (hot) and crosses paths with a few more of them.

El libro me gustó mucho pero siento que el enredo de las situaciones o el problema principal al final fue una manera muy simple el solucionarla.

I enjoyed the FMC, she was clever and wasn't constantly plagued with indecision. She was committed to her goal and wasn't going to let anything even morals get in her way.

Demon daddy best daddy but also the world building and power scaling and magic system seem like they can really be cool and well done. I'm excited to see where this goes. Great set up for a series.

Kingdom of the Wicked is a lot of fun. It intertwines familiar aspects of Catholicism with a new twist with the sins as Princes of Hell. While the magic system could have been fleshed out further, it felt more balanced than many others, showing some of the consequences of using too much power. The banter was bantering for sure. The more tender moments were very sweet, and I can't wait to see how the relationships develop in the sequels. It's fairly obvious who the original enemy is, but there were enough twists and turns and additions along the way that it didn't matter as much that that was predictable.

The main characters are postitioned against the local church and a religious brotherhood. There are portrayals of people driven mad by magic, displaying signs similar to certain types of schizophrenia. These people are positioned as victims, and are not regarded with kindness from all. There is a relationship between an 18 year old and an ancient demon. There is a lot of sexism from the religious order towards witches and women in general. There is a moderately graphic description of evisceration. Mild sexual content, nothing further than intense kissing. Blood in rituals. Loss of a close family member and multiple forms of grief associated with that. Two brief but lightly graphic torture scenes.magicalshelves's review against another edition

The premise is unique and interesting and the writing isn’t bad, sometines even enjoyable, but I feel like the delivery of the plot is lacking? I don’t feel anything, I was waiting for the book to end. Idk if I am just not paying attention but I haven’t had this happen with other books so I doubt that’s it? I was excited for the series and the last 10 chapters were better, I even thought the ending was done well, but I literally don’t give a fuck about any of the characters like I’m just not invested. I was excited about this series so I promised myself to finish the 1st book, but I wanted to stop reading so many times. There are good moments and I feel bad rating it this low, but 3 or higher for me are books I at least semi enjoyed and the few moments where I felt their chemistry just don’t make up for me being bored:( I might feel a bit bitter because I was intrigued by the premise and had quite high expectations (I mean witches? Demons? Twins? Murder mystery? Italian food? Palermo?) 🙁
