taylor500's review against another edition

The writing style was too descriptive, about half this book could have been cut, and I didn’t care about the characters at all. Was starting to put myself into a reading slump trying to read it, as a result it’s going in the DNF pile.

It was fine. I don’t know what else to say, honestly. I enjoyed it enough to finish it but I don’t know if I’d recommend it to anyone.

I very much enjoyed this read

What I liked

• Dialogue is fun, witty, and clever
• Flirting game that ran throughout the book. It made the sexy parts WAY hotter
• Court Intrigue is fun, esp the relationships between the princess of sin
• The book is a game/tournament/challenge plot line, and the contest is well crafted

What I didn't like

• It's a long book, which I don't really mind. It makes it a slower read, but it also doesn't feel like it drags anywhere. I did reach chapter 69, which I thought was the last one, and was like "Ha! Ending on 69!" But I was wrong, and there were about 5 more chapters that I did kind of think we didn't need :D
• Some of the courts of sin have a backdrop of lots of people having public sex, and that ceased to shock or charm me in any way a loooooooong time ago

This is the first of the series, and I will probably not continue right away because it was a LOT of emotional whiplash, and I need to go read a rom com for aftercare or something

Maybe I would have enjoyed this read more if I had read the Kingdom of the Wicked series first and understood the world more. That said, the first 275 pages felt so slow compared to the latter half of the book which felt rushed at key points. Some of the writing felt too vague and ignored opportunity to elaborate when needed, while other aspects of the book felt too literal in their descriptions and dialogue. Just not for me.
