I still enjoyed Kingdom of the Cursed, but I did not enjoy it as much as book one; Kingdom of the Wicked.
I was hoping for more world building, more of an understanding on what is going on. Unfortunately, I got none of that. It felt to me that the world building from book one became non-existent in this book, like we were getting a whole new world and now I'm trying to understand this one.
I was genuinely excited for Emilia to go into the underworld (is that what it's called in this world?), but it felt boring and it didn't make sense. There are journalists in hell? Well, that makes sense actually...
To be absolutely honest, I think this book didn't need to be written. Yes, it left on a cliff-hanger and crazily enough, I need to know more. However, nothing significant happened that requires a whole book on it's own. My guess, at the most, this series can be summed up in a duology.
I will say, Kerri Maniscalco knows how to suck you in and keep you engaged. I just want to know what is going to happen to these characters. And if you can do that to a reader, then you're a pretty good author in my book. Even if her main female character makes stupid decisions, acts like she is perfection, and can be an eye roll when it comes to her love interests. Like seriously, make up your mind already.
Okay, one more book in the series and I will finally find out what will happen. Fingers crossed it's the best one out of the three.
Until next time, happy reading
