Hi bookworms! Today I'm reviewing All the Wicked Dolls by Ben McKenzie! I'd like to thank the author for giving me a copy in exchange for an honest review.
Roman and his twin sister Olivia live a sheltered life in a small sleepy town. That is until it is their turn to be claimed by the Inferno to receive powers. Since Roman is a boy, it is expected for him to have weaker abilities, so it is a big surprise when he is able to control the weather. This sets off a chain of events that lead them to London where the Synod, an ancient group of witches resides. During it all Roman must navigate the politics of this new world while trying to master his newfound powers. One thing I enjoyed the most about this book was the political drama. Seeing how the families interacted and watching Roman navigate this world was intriguing. I also liked the variety of powers such as controlling fire, storms and even people. That said, I would have liked to see the magic system become more fleshed out so that I could get a better understanding about how it worked. The plot was very fast paced with action throughout to keep you interested. I did guess some plot twists so it was a bit predictable at times. I also would have liked for more scenes without action so that we could get to know the characters better. My favourite character would have to be Taylor as I found him to be the most interesting of the group, I also was intrigued with his powers. The aspect of the dolls made for a creepy undertone in the book which I also enjoyed. I gave this book a 3/5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️. That's all for my review of All the Wicked Dolls by Ben McKenzie! I hope you enjoyed it! If you could pick one season to stay in forever, what would it be? Let me know in the comments below!
