* I would give this book 4.5 stars for review*

I will admit I have waited for a long time for this read. I was lucky enough to get arc of wicked king last year so It has been adventure waiting. I really did enjoy this book. I thought this book had a nice balance of plot/character stuff and also fan service balance. I really enjoyed how tightly wound this story was. I thought the pacing was hard to put down and the characters i still really did enjoy. As for the plot and more so the Villain, I just felt the stakes were higher in other books in this series. It wanted more from the villain. I really did loved all the twists and turns in this read, and overall was impressed with the end, I just wanted higher stakes like in the previous books in this series.
