Will King of Envy Live Up to it’s Pre-released Hype?

King of Envy Exclusive Books

---

For a while, the King of Sin series has sat at four books with the author seemingly taking a break to work on “The Striker”, a book from the God of the Game series. Now, with the series coming back in full force, the up-coming release of “King of Envy”, which has been teased more and more as the release date get’s closer. However, will the book live up to the hype surrounding it and how will it match up or compare with the other books in the series? 

Previously, Ana Huang had written her series in a total of four books. This was seen with both her If Love and Twisted series. However, this is not gonna be the case with the King of Sin series as each book represents a deadly sin, which let’s us know their will at least be seven books in the series. This could easily mess with the cohesion of the story and leave massive plot holes or missing information for readers who are just starting the series. What fixes this is the fact that each book also works as a standalone; with all the side information either being important information on the character, which is later explained within that story, or being small cameos to characters from previous stories or series. For example, in “King of Sloth” we get to see a sneak peak of Vuk, who will be the main male character in “King of Envy”, as well as a cameo of Alex after his story in “Twisted Love”. Knowing the story works just as great by itself, gives me hope that the story will match up well with the others and possibly even exceed past my expectations as it isn’t relying on the other stories for sneaking in information or backstories.

A big thing I noticed is the hype surrounding this particular story. Similar to “The Striker” the main male lead is often seen in the background of the stories or even interacting with some of the other characters. Originally, this is what drew me to the God of the Game series, as the main character had popped up in multiple other scenes only being known as the playboy footballer. Vuk Markovic, the male main character of the “King of Envy” book, has been referenced previously, except he’s still a total mystery. With even the characters who interacted with him, not knowing a thing about him besides his nickname, The Serb.

Looking over most of the promotion on the book, I’d like to say the book will live up to the hype. So far, each one of the books in the series hasn’t disappointed and I believe “King of Envy” will make way for more books to be produced in the future. Especially since this story appears to take place outside of the regular group, this being Dante, Kai, Xavier, and Dominic. Luckily, this transition has already been seen before when we first moved from the Twisted series over to the King of Sin series, when Dante made his appearance near the end of the Twisted series; so I’m not too worried about the outcome. Overall, I’m excited to see what the books about and how Ana proceeds to tell the story of the mysterious Serb.
