12/28/2023 0 Comments To kill a kingdom age rating![]() That’s why we’ve put together a quick guide to help you understand what makes Roblox so popular and how to ensure your kids don’t get any nasty surprises. However, children can play it safely and enjoyably with little supervision and understanding. ![]() There are many Roblox rumours, fake scare stories, and incorrect advice rife on social media and even in newspapers that demonise the game. After all, much of Roblox is played online. That makes it all the more exciting but can also lead to fears over its safety. Like Minecraft before it, its attraction to youngsters is partly because mum and dad don’t get it. I highly highly recommend this one if you liked To Kill a Kingdom, or even if you didn’t, since the story and characters are unique.Roblox has been a major hit with children worldwide, even though it is an odd-looking and often confusing game. Much better than the author’s sophomore novel and it’s sequel, though not quite as amazing as her debut. The side characters were fun and loveable, though I wish they’d had a little more development. And also I loved him (except for his horrid Rapunzel jokes). Yes, it’s a noble one, but he’s a little more morally gray in terms of the lengths he’d go to accomplish it. Nox, conversely, is a man with a mission. I think it is probably the most relatable take on “what if I had sorta evil powers” in comparison to how I, personally, think I would react to that scenario. Her internal conflict surrounding her powers felt so 3 dimensional and realistic. However, she is willing to do what it takes when necessary. Selestra hates her powers, the innate evil that is stealing someone’s soul to give someone immortality. Selestra is more the second girl, but I really liked Alexandra Christo’s take on it. I like the first one (so long as she is more than just that 2-D archetype) I hate the second one. I feel like, most of the time when you have a character (especially a girl) with dark, evil powers, there are only two personality options: badass morally gray girl who will do whatever it takes with no remorse (a la Jude Duarte) or someone who is so afraid of their own power that they spend all their time whining about it and refusing to use it. I was expecting Selestra to be very morally gray FMC with dark powers, and I was almost apprehensive when she wasn’t. ![]() The main selling point of this novel was, in my opinion, the characters. I’m pretty sure he made the “If your hair was just a little longer, we could use it to climb down!” joke a half dozen times. The only part of the books that ever made me think about Rapunzel were the far too numerous “tongue in cheek” jokes from the love interest. Selestra isn’t allowed to leave the castle, true, but she is able to interact with anyone who lives in or visits the palace. There is no Rapunzel flower/herb, there is no kidnappping (Selestra’s mom is evil, but she’s her actual mom), there’s no tall secluded tower. Like, waistlength), who leaves her “tower” with a guy. ![]() The main character is a pseudo prisoner who has long hair (but not that long. The book has basically none of the requisite Rapunzel plotlines. I think the “Rapunzel” comparison did the book a disservice. In the end (let’s say the last 10%), the pace picked up again and I started to get wholly invested again, however, with the shift in the plot and the weaker middle section, the beginning to the ending didn’t quite feel cohesive. There were always moments of tension, and I adored the characters throughout, but the thread of the plot started to feel a little lost. Though I continued to enjoy the book, and never felt the desire to DNF, after that 25% mark, the book started to slow down. Those things together made it un-put-down-able. It had a phenomenal hook, and the first quarter of the book was fast paced, twisted and dark, and so unique. I adored TKaK, but was unable to get through Christo’s sophomore novel (I believe I DNFed it at about 20%), so I was a little apprehensive about this one, but I was excited to see that it was in first person. Special thanks to FierceReads and NetGalley for an eARC of this book! All thoughts and opinions reflected in this review are my own.Ī Rapunzel-inspired dark fantasy set in the world of Alexandra Christo’s bestselling To Kill a Kingdom.
