#vittoria di carlo

[riverkaterina]

The goddess of death was trapped by gold, the light of the sun that gave life, that blinded her to the calls of the grave.

The goddess of fury was trapped by silver, the cool waters to drown her flames, that ordered her to be calm when she yearned for her ire.

The goddess of death returned by turning ice cold, her heart ripped out, no warmth in her eyes.

The goddess of fury returned by engulfing herself in the flames of passion, of anger, of love, her irises set ablaze again.

(Kerri you're a queen for setting up this dichotomy I didn't even notice until today)

I FOUND THIS FANART OF VITTORIA AND I'M SCREAMING SHE'S SO PRETTY

passing by to remember that female characters don't need to hold a sword to show strength. being an epic warrior isn't the only way for characters to be strong. they can be strong through many things, and having hobbies or being passionate characters doesn't make them any less than others. reproducing this speech is misogyny in disguise. (talking about this because whenever i see this speech i get irritated, and it's always the ''feminists''.)

I think Kerri Maniscalco could have done so much with the Feared storyline. Like, it was cool but it could have been EPIC

[pippa-fitz-amobi]

imagine being warned about demons and the princes of hell wanting to kill you because you are a witch for your whole life and thinking your grandmother was just being dramatic about everything before your twin sister is murdered and you find out that she was in contact with the princes of hell, who you think might have killed her, so you summon one of them but dont realize that you accidentally bound them to you and now they are your betrothed, so they help you find out who your sisters murderer is only for it to have been your friend and childhood crush. Imagine the pain you must have felt, how could you ever trust anyone again? and now you have to go to hell to find out the rest of the truth about your sisters murder.

kotw vibes?

These too! Yes! The colours remind me of Gluttony, since he, if I remember right, wore red at The feast of the Wolf, but the greek goddess vibe, makes me feel more like it would fit Vittoria (maybe even Emilia in the past, but not currently) if it was only a lilac colour.

Twisted though it may be, that was the power of love. It could usher in warmth and light, and it could also turn a single ember into a raging inferno, destroying those who threatened it. Love might be the worst sin of them all, with its two sides.

[sweetreveriee]

Ok Vittoria is actually such a bitch-

[elidelochans]

hi do you have the kotf special editions?

Hey nonnie!

I have The Barnes and Noble edition which has a bonus scene from kotc in Prince Envy's pov. I think Niki (@witching-by-the-willow ) has the Walmart exclusive or knows a blog with it. *the bonus content itself is set during kotc there are major spoilers for kotf. If you haven't read kotf yet. DO NOT READ THIS. The bonus material also has NSFW content.

Since it's over 10 pages I put it on a Google drive which you can find here: Prince Envy Bonus pov

I am still waiting on my Fairy Loot exclusive (it was unfortunately delayed) but should be here sometime this month 🤞 usually those don't have any added content just a pretty edition but I'll double check.

Another friendly reminder that Vittoria di Carlo also looked like she ate lovers alive and picked her teeth with their bones.

[witching-by-the-willow]

To me it's obvious Pride's book will be next, but I will be honest, I don't know how anyone can root for him, much less Vittoria? He torpedoed his entire marriage and let his own wife think he was sleeping around on her because of what people might say about him like this is high school. He's angry at Wrath for the curse when his marriage to Lucia is the main drive for it because he can't take accountability for his actions. I also still can't fathom how Kerri thought we'd accept or like Vittoria's quick turn around either, esp after she did things like degrade Emilia naked and IN CHAINS. I'd much rather have a Wrath prequel instead of all this, but even then, I worry how Kerri would execute it at this point. It just feels like she wants to write Netflix!Bridgerton and the circles of HELL are not the best setting for that imho. Sorry for venting, I guess I just wanted that other anon to know they're not alone on their lukewarm Pride feelings. 🤣

Okay, hello bestie, hopefully this is the time this finally gets posted. 😂♥️

You know what, you're absolutely right.

I get why Pride would do that, because he's...well, too proud to not show off his sin. But buddy, maybe you should not?? Have made your wife think?? You were cheating on her?? Their story is just so filled with miscommunication, and a bit of enabling of the same by Lucia's mother/the First Witch. But tbh, she only wanted the best for her daughter, and maybe if Pride had actually showed his love for Lucia, she would have budged. Because we do know he loves her, because he has never moved on from trying to find her. And with more miscommunication, she didn't bring up her doubts and questions to him either, which is annoying to me too.

Anyway, I think a part of why I want to see Pride and Lucia is because I want to see him put his namesake sin aside and dedicate himself to groveling and falling on his knees for her forgiveness. And well, communication. Please, for the love of god. 🤡

Also YES I know, right? Wrath has done nothing to get the curse, sir. Leave him alone. He has suffered because of it, despite not having had any hand in causing it. 😭

This is not to say I don't like Pride, I do. And I actually think he's quite interesting, so I'm waiting for his book desperately so he can get the development he needs so I can love him (as I love Sloth).

And oh bestie, I am so glad you agree with me on the Vittoria plotline. Her character has a lot of potential, but that last-minute redemption arc was a complete mess. And Emilia and Wrath are way better people than me, because no matter how ancient I was, I would NOT forgive her so soon for making my life hell (no pun intended) for months.

Like, ma'am. You could have made your points and had a conversation with your sister WITHOUT chaining her or poisoning her husband.

Not the mention the sexual frustration from pulling poor Emilia to whatever reason at the worst possible moments lmao 💀💀💀

Oh buddy, the thimgs I would do for a Wrath Prequel.....please, it would solve so many of my problems. I don't even need it to be a literary masterpiece, I just want to see what goes on in his head at any given moment. 😂🛐

Bestie, not the bridgerton comparison I'm akfjajgbajgnang I can't unthink it now 💀

But ngl, I'm looking forward to the stories on various princes. I like the world Kerri Maniscalco has built and I like the characters too. Even if the books turn out to be a mess, I'll probably keep reading anyway, because I just have a lot of fun with this setting.

Also like. I need the book on Sloth. Tell me more about this prince of hell who is a medicine scholar and an introvert and has a massive library in his house that he spends his time reading in instead of getting involved in hell-drama. You can't look me in the eyes and tell me he does not deserve his own book.

Well, this turned into quite the ramble lol. Thank you for this ask, I love talking about these books, and any and all books! ❤️

[averagebookfiend]

Heyy yall, it's been a minute since I talked about a book. But I'm currently reading the Kingdom of the Wicked series and I just gotta say 😮‍💨 whew

There's so much tension.

SLIGHT SPOILER WARNING

I just gotta say that Emilia and Wrath are endgame. That's a no brainer.

But I really really really want her to sleep with , at least , 3 other brothers. Like come on 🙄. But I know that won't happen..

So to all the KOTW fans out there, if yall have any recs where she has spicy time with another one of the princes (or all of them, at dif times ofc) can yall drop em real quick??

Thank youuu

Random Book update: I haven’t done one of these in ages but I’ve been reading a ton. I’m currently reading Kingdom of the Wicked and I love it! Wrath’s dry sarcasm is so amazing. I can’t wait to finish it!
