Lauren's Reviews > Kingdom of the Feared

** spoiler alert ** I can't really tell if this should go down a star or not, because I had some issues with the plotting and pacing, but I also knew exactly what I wanted this book to be and it delivered precisely. I will say that it had some genuinely good twists and revelations, and I don't really understand why Kerri Maniscalo chose to save them all for this book. The reveal about Emilia being a goddess should've been built to in the previous book, and the layout explanation of the underworld would've been much more useful when she first 'arrives' in it.

I also have some issues with how the mysteries of this book are laid out, there's a lot of talking around characters being cursed and cursing each other with nebulous consequences that don't get brought up until plot convenient. Also, an entire subplot about a murder investigation that could've been cut out. But it was a fun weekend read, I like the main characters, and if she ever decided to write short stories exploring the other sins I think that could have a lot of potential.
