A review by rtjasa
Kingdom of the Wicked by Kerri Maniscalco
mysterious
slow-paced
2.5
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?) 🙁
Graphic: Gore and Murder
Moderate: Blood and Grief
