KotW was a mix of mystery, romance and fantasy, and I assumed the sequel would be the same. The direction and vibe of this book was very different from what I was expecting. She comes to believe that locating certain magical objects will assist her in discovering the truth, but as a mortal navigating the dangers of hell, nothing is easy. However, when cryptic messages start showing up in her chambers, she begins searching for answers as to what really happened to her sister and the nature of the curse binding the Devil. KotC kicks off almost immediately after the end of KotW, with Emilia travelling to Hell and taking up residence in Wrath’s kingdom while she prepares to fulfil the bargain she made to marry his brother, Pride. As it turned out, yes, I enjoyed it more, but at the same time I can’t help feeling like my weirdly high expectations are on the train to disappointment city right now. I honestly thought this would be the case of a sequel blowing book one out of the water. It might seem strange considering I only gave the first book in this series 3 stars, but I was super pumped for Kingdom of the Cursed.
