Rating: 4.5/5 stars

The third book in the ONCE UPON A BROKEN HEART trilogy, continuing the story of Evangeline Fox and Jacks the Prince of Hearts.

I read this one in a single day, and had a fantastic time. It wasn’t my favorite in the trilogy (that honor definitely goes to BALLAD, which I ADORED), but it was fun and fast paced and I loved the ending. Evangeline and Jacks definitely have my heart and are taking spots as a favorite fantasy couple for me.

I did feel like some aspects of the ending were a bit rushed (and there were a few answers I wanted and never got) but all in all I HIGHLY recommend this trilogy (though it should be read after CARAVAL) and can’t wait to see what Stephanie Garber writes next!

CW: Violence/blood/injury; kidnapping/emotional abuse/gaslighting

The beggining seemed very good. I got my hopes up that it would be closer to the first one until about 2/3 of the book. After that it lost itself a bit. There were multiple dialogues in which I could hear the author's voice instead of the character's. Especially forced exposition, mostly trying to change lore last minute to fix plot holes.
I didn't like what the author did with the Valors, with the exception of Castor.
In general, the end was ok. Barely above average.
