Review: Throne of The Fallen by Kerri Maniscalco

This book is dedicated to those girls who are touch-deprived (a.k.a moi)

Although I've never read any of Kerri Maniscalco's books before, this one can be enjoyed as a standalone or as part of the Kingdom of the Wicked trilogy. I have a fascination with Seven Deadly Sins (thanks to Fullmetal Alchemist anime which I watched 20 years ago, please don't judge me 👀), I was intrigued to learn that the kings and princes in these books are based on sins. Kingdom of the Wicked explores Wrath, while Throne of the Fallen delves into Envy.

"Throne of the Fallen" is an exciting journey through a richly imagined dark fantasy world, full of mystery and unexpected twists. The pacing is fast, keeping readers hooked from start to finish. Maniscalco’s writing is immersive, creating vivid images of the story's haunting landscapes.

The story's most compelling aspect is the strong connection between Camilla and Envy. Their dynamic is intense, filled with tension and complexity that adds depth to the story. You can’t help but root for them as they face their challenges, and their interactions create some of the book’s most memorable moments.

The pacing sometimes felt rushed, especially towards the climax. Some subplots could have been explored more to realise their full potential.

"Throne of the Fallen" is a captivating and rewarding dark fantasy book that is a must-read for fans. As a newcomer to this type of book, I really enjoyed it. I'm looking forward to the release of "Throne of Secrets" at the end of this month. I'm also excited to add the "Kingdom of the Wicked" trilogy to my reading list.
