I really, really enjoyed this book.
There were times where I was either slightly bored or wanting to get to the "good bits" quicker, even though I didn't know what the good bits actually were.
However, overall, I was really engrossed in the story and the world Kerri Maniscalco was creating.
I do agree with people saying it needs to be expanded on and maybe instead of explaining everything, show us. Other than that, I literally couldn't put the book down.
I think what I really loved about this book, and what sold me on buying it, was the setting. Italy. I'm Italian, so hearing about the food that was described (which some people didn't like for some reason), made me so excited.
Cooking with my Nonna is a big thing in my family, so seeing Emilia bond with her Nonna was very special to me. Especially just a day prior to starting this book, I was making fresh pasta with her.
Of course with a book like this we also need to talk about the love interest (if that's what he is). Wrath. I'm not sure what to say about him just yet. I felt like we are slowly in book one getting to know who these characters are. I'm hoping in book two we get to know them a lot better.
And saying that, I'm going to pick up book two; Kingdom of the Cursed right now.
Until next time, happy reading
