I always love Marissa Meyers books and Cursed didn't disappoint. It fully brings together all plot point which was satisfying. I found parts of the ending not super satisfying but that's just me. The actual ending fits with the over arching story very well.

I adored the children and I am glad for the ending but the story was so slow paced and I found the pregnancy stuff kind of ick

I feel like this shouldn't be categorized as a young adult novel and is pretty much new adult genre. And since this is young adult fiction, I have to review it as such. I felt the content was way too dark for a teenager to read which made the story hard to follow sometimes.

This book is well written. I liked the overall story. I was frustrating at times because the main character has all of the information in front of her but can't comprehend it. I loved the guilded prince, the princess, the forest folk, and the ghosts. The dark castle was spooky and creepy with the different creatures.  Serilda is now cursed with the guilded prince. They are trying to find a way to break the curse and set everyone free.

It's not bad, but the pacing was off for me. Too slow in most places and the action sequences were too fast. I also saw some plottwists coming which took the fun out. 

Erlen was amazing tho and she made it more enjoyable.

Marissa Meyer had to fill in a nine month gap, because the original story doesnt tell about that time. But her version sadly did not satisfy me.
If she didnt do the plottwist at the end of book 1, gilded could be a standalone novel. It didnt work as a duology for me because I feel like I didnt get to know the characters better...

I was in a fantasy mood, but this book did not quench my thirst. And I'm so sad about it because I love Marissa's other books!

I hope you loved this story more than I did <3
