The King Will Kill You by Sarah Henning
Princess Amarande is finally on the verge of having everything she wants. To be with her true love Luca, no one nor law standing in the way. To rule Ardenia as queen outright, no marriage necessary, as Luca does the same with the reformed Torrence. To rebuild the continent of The Sand and Sky into a place not defined by archaic, patriarchal laws, but by the will of its people.
However, threats await in the shadows of Amarande’s hoped-for happily ever after. One expected and deadly to both her love and every one of her objectives. The other, unexpected, and arising with a vicious aim: revenge at any cost. Against the princess who killed him, the boy whose love made her do it, and the continent cruel enough to deserve his rage.
The King Will Kill You is the epic, pulse-pounding conclusion to Sarah Henning’s Kingdoms of Sand and Sky trilogy.
This is a book three and will have spoilers below from the other books.
I enjoyed this one, but I think I would have liked it more if I could have read it faster. We’re moving (short term notice) and have been busy getting things done around the house. It’s definitely hurt my reading. I liked the ending for the trilogy and I’m happy with all of it. As with the others, I tended to care more about the side characters than I did Ama and Luca. I’m not sure why. I would love a book focused more on the pirates. The pacing was decent, but again I’m not sure since I only got to read 2-3 chapters at a time. I liked how the author pointed out that patriarchal system and how messed up it was.
I gave this book 4 1/2 stars.
Have you read this? Is it on your TBR? Have you started this trilogy?
