I want to say I definitely enjoyed this book way better than the first of the series. KOTW was long winded, which is to be expected when setting the scene to a series, but it was also heavy on unnecessary detail. Plus, it made me hungry. But I definitely liked this book despite it being all over the place.

For one, the author made it sound as if the Sin Corridor would entail more trial and tribulation to get through, but perhaps Wrath taking charge and powering though was a testament to his true feelings for Emilia and her well-being.

It also seemed that Emilia was constantly falling off task as she fought her feelings for Wrath and her desire to avenge her sister. It felt like there were many events,

like Emilia losing her magic,

were unnecessary or cut short, or

like the build up to the Feast,

just for it to not be a big deal. Her tasks/quests and training were also very short and easy, whereas other things drawn out. I hope Emilia because a more well rounded character in the third book, because she seems pretty flat as a character. She’s just a giant rageful ball of lust right now. She is just a chef with only a basic understanding of surface level magic (and even that’s a stretch) and she believes she equipped to handle the Wicked? I applaud her confidence, but am concerned she’s too naive. 

It seemed obvious to me by the middle of the book that Vittoria was still alive (especially with the skulls with her voice appearing) and that Wrath was the true Devil, not Pride. However, this did not stop me from being EXTREMELY excited to have these suspicions confirmed.

I definitely liked the interactions with the Wicked and seeing their differences. I also was very excited by the switch from YA to NA, because if you’re writing about debauchery and lust, you can’t censor or brush over the details that make Hell Hell. It would also be ridiculous to have the Devil not say “Fuck” or the like. He’s the Devil. 
Overall, entertaining story and I’m excited for the third book to come out!
