Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for giving me a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
This book was an emotional rollercoaster that I struggled to put down. Emilia’s anger was palatable and realistic. The way she grieved for her sister, in waves and different emotions, felt tangible. Unsurprisingly, I found the Princes of Hell incredibly loveable. I am not a romance reader, by any means, but the relationship between Wrath and Emilia genuinely made me excited. I think I would have liked more information on the lore, rather than the instant explanation from the grandmother close to the end.
I've genuinely never read a fantasy that is placed in Italy, nor using Italian culture. I thought this was really interesting and made the story all the more exciting and enveloping.
There are witty one-liners and vicious demons, and there's not much more I could ask for in a book like this. The only reason this was not a total 5 star read was that the ending felt a little lackluster. I know it is a series, but regardless, I still have too many unanswered questions for my liking. I think there's a balance to be had when it comes to that.
