Hoda omggggg you wanna go for it????🥹🥹🥹🥹 ]]> Review6737634117 Thu, 10 Apr 2025 11:56:10 -0700 /review/show/6737634117 mai ༉‧⋆˚. gave 2 stars to King of Wrath (Kings of Sin, #1) by Ana Huang
bookshelves: not-for-me, 3-stars
2,5 ��

I read the back of Ana Huangs books and I’m like “omg this is just my thing🤭🤭�� and then I read the book and get nothing that I wanted. The first 10% were fun and then everything moved so fast making it unrealistic, boring and weird and then it became interesting again for me when it hit like 75% (not me enjoying the story when they are about to break apart 💀💀💀)

Let me just get straight to the point

No hate to anyone 🫶 If you did like this book that’s totally fine, everyone’s taste is different 😊 you don’t need to agree with me

�� The book moves wayyyyy too fast- he was already tracing her lips and shit after they just met 1 chapter ago and during the third meeting my boy had his hand around her throat talking about “do you understand�� or sum shit- Dante, we are only 15% in the story, chapter 6, SLOW DOWN
Plus, you don’t even know the women so why in the world would you put your hand around her throat- it was so random, quick and just not fit in the situation. It was so awkward to read

�� He just randomly put his hand on her thigh somewhere in the beginning like pls don’t 😃😃😃 if you do that again, I will pull a Christian move on you- but no seriously, I don’t like it when characters just randomly touch the main character like that. I had the same issue with twisted lies when Christian just randomly gave Stella a 3 second kiss and put his hand on her thigh- consent should always be a thing and it can be given in multiple ways. Don’t just randomly have your characters touch each other like that. Where in the world is the progress and consent ? It’s all just unrealistic

�� It moved sooooo fast ONCE AGAIN like he was literally **** her 33% in IT WAS SO AWKWARD. Their relationship had not progressed at all what, again, made it unrealistic and awkward and then they just continued with their life

�� Apparently Dante is a very secret guy who keeps his shit to himself and doesn’t smile and stuff and yet he was telling Vivian half his life story before we even hit the 40% mark💀💀 okay Dante “bad boy I don’t talk about my problems�� 🙄🙄

�� It. Was. Boring. Why? Because. It. Moved. Too. Fast. That was the whole problem of this story- if it didn’t move so fast I would maybe have enjoyed it

�� The second to last smut scene (or last idk) was��.. just awkward. I’m sorry I ������’t stop laughing 😭😭😭 I don’t want to say too much about it, but it was random and once again not fitting in the story. Yk she was trying to make it hard for him and taking it step by step- doing what you guys did is not taking it step by step🧍‍♀�� slow burn is what this book was missing. It feels like that scene was just put there to give the people more smut but I don’t think people that like reading smut want to see it during scenes where it is not needed & weird (but taste differ obviously).
I want emotional, raw and real emotions and all of that (it was there at the end! But I needed it a little longer and stronger).
The smut, whether you read it or skip it, just takes you out of the emotional state you were in bc, obviously, it brings up a different vibe.

�� There was less smut than in her other books what I personally really liked. Less smut means less skipping for me, but they were very random at moments

�� Their fights in the beginning made me laugh, sometimes

�� the “hello, I’m Dante�� thing at the end was cute 🤭

Conclusion: this book needed more slow burn, in everything


Some beautiful things I wanted to share:
