A review by madeline
King of Wrath by Ana Huang
4.0
I think the thing I appreciated the most about this book was the characters' willingness to try and make a relationship work - often in a forced relationship book, one or both is like "well I can't <i>love</i> them, it's all pretend" for too long, and it gets boring. Vivian and Dante were both willing to try at something more, which I found adult and refreshing.
On the downside: it's nothing super-original from her, the writing could still use some leveling-up, and as someone ethically opposed to billionaires, if I'm going to read a romance about rich people, I could a - 100% do without a line-item analysis of the cost of everything they're buying, and b - do with at least one aside where they're like "and then I wrote a check to my favorite charity for 100k and paid all of my taxes in full."
Still, fun enough, and spicy! Thank you Edelweiss and Sourcebooks for the ARC.
