Throne of the Fallen

Kerri Maniscalco — 2023

#1 New York Times bestselling author Kerri Maniscalco makes her adult debut with a steamy new standalone romantic fantasy set in her fan-favorite Kingdom of the Wicked world, about a dark prince battling an impossible curse—and the artist who might be the only one who can set him free. Sinner. Villain. Wicked. The Prince of Envy has never claimed to be a saint. But when a cryptic note arrives, signaling the beginning of a deadly game, he knows it will take more than a hint of sin to win and save his falling demon court. Riddles, hexed objects, anonymous players, nothing will stand in his way, though none of his meticulous plans prepare him for her, the frustrating artist who ignites his sin like no other… Virtuous. Darling. Liar. The trouble with scoundrels and blackguards is that they haven’t a modicum of honor, a fact Miss Camilla Antonius learns after one desperate mistake allows Waverly Green’s most notorious rake to blackmail her. To avoid a ruinous scandal, Camilla is forced to enter a devil’s bargain with Envy, little expecting his game will awaken her true nature . . . Together, Envy and Camilla must embark on a perilous journey through the Underworld—from glittering demon courts to the sultry vampire realm and beyond—while trying to avoid the most dangerous trap of all: falling in love.

Of all the Kerri Maniscalco books I have read so far, this has to be my favorite. While I loved Wrath, Envy surprised me, and I liked the storyline much better. I also am happy that the series will now be one book per brother. I felt as if there were a few moments where the Kingdom of the Wicked series dragged on just so it could span three books, and this one felt like the exact opposite.

I enjoyed this book but it was a little slow and it, respectfully, read just like a YA author’s adult fiction debut, but the main pairing was cute and it was fun

4.5 STARS:

This gave me everything I wanted and more. What I wanted was a fluffy, twisted romance with some spice, and this delivered.

I'm going to say this right now: if you want intricate world-building or something that focuses more on plot, you won't get that here. The author knows that the main draw of the story is the romance, and she leans into that.

Camilla is a badass FMC, and she owns Envy. Envy is absolutely whipped from day one, and yet he is also deliciously cold and cruel. Both of them together have great chemistry, and the spice is on another level.

I really liked this one. If you're like me and want to just lose yourself in a fun romantasy, this is a great book to do that with. And while I think reading the Kingdom of the Wicked series would enhance your experience with Throne of the Fallen, it is not necessary.

Overall, I highly recommend.
