Delightfully wicked, steamy and sexy. After an excruciating wait I finally got to experience this and I was not disappointed. I love the way Maniscalco has painted her version of hell and all the Circles. Its terrfiying and dangerous but also so beautiful, intriguing and addictive. We finally got to meet the other princes (I'm particularly fond of Pride and Gluttony,) and more of the mystery has started to unravel.
It was definitely more character driven than plot, but I didn't actually mind that. There was so much character development and so many layers peeled back. All the things that frustrated me in book one were washed away, the main one being Emilias use of magic because she didn't feel like much of a witch in book one.
I'm intrigued by the politics of the Wicked and I find myself dying to know more.
I knocked of half a star though because I wasn't suprised anything that happened in the last few chapters. I suspected it since book the end of book 1, and it was glaringly obvious throughout book 2 - I just felt like I was waiting for the shoe to drop.
But still highly addictive and enjoyable. I'm in love with this world and Wrath and Emilia are such amazing characters.
Book three now please.
