After the incredible let down that was Kingdom of the Feared, I was a bit apprehensive to read this book. I was, however, pleasantly surprised. I loved the juxtaposition between the Regency England-esque human realm and the underworld. Where I think the Kingdom trilogy found itself awkwardly straddling between YA and adult, Throne of the Fallen is undoubtedly an adult novel, and suitably spicy to match.

Throne of the Fallen is the adult fantasy romance debut from Kerri Maniscalco. It’s Prince Envy’s story from the Kingdom of the Wicked world. Along with his romantic lead, Camilla Antonius. This was a fun steamy book that expanded on a fan favorite Prince of Hell’s story and I’m looking forward to the other two Prince’s stories (particularly Pride and Lucia!).
