“Love and hate are both rooted in passion.”

This story is no longer holding my attention, the whole who-murdered-my-twin shtick, I don't care for it.

Overall, a whole lot of nothing happens in the sequel. Emilia ends up in hell and settles in at Wrath's court. [inserting] descriptions of lavish rooms, dresses, and foods yada, yada, yada. She does a little bit of asking around and gets exposed to a few mildly perilous situations but clues are basically handed to her. That's all folks. And the dun-dun-dun, ‘big' reveal at the end.

I was also not expecting the amount of non-PG. How old is Emilia again? And who is tagging this as YA??! Never mind that Emilia and Warth spend a lot of time with each other's naked bodily vessels, some rando demon/prince of Hell propositions her very bluntly, no euphemisms at all. There was also no build-up between her and the Prince. It's so convenient that they're betrothed to each other so they can just go at it. And isn't it just endearing how protective and caring he is despite being the king of hell and whatnot? The fact that he lies to her all the time is not a problem at all.

There's really no mystery here, at all, despite the synopsis/cover suggesting otherwise. The final reveal was quite underwhelming.
