I just wish her sisters would have been mentioned at the end of the book. They felt unimportant at the end
This book is such a good one! Although I feel it went pretty slow at times, I loved the parts where the pace quickened and I felt like I was on the chase with the characters.
I love reading stories where the main character(s) are without something that makes their lives more difficult in the beginning. That’s one reason I got this book to begin with. It seemed so up my alley. It is up my alley for sure.
I feel like the ending seemed very fast in contrast with the pacing of the rest of the book, although magic can really change things fast.
Definitely recommend this book to anyone who enjoys fairytales, princesses with flaws, witches, and royalty schemes! 4/5 stars!

The princesses of Ever are beloved by the kingdom snd their father, the king. They are cherished, admired.
Cursed.
The story is told through the eyes of Reagan and Jane. The witch who put the curse and Jane the bewitched.
This insightful twist of a fairy tale explores power in a patriarcal kingdom not unlike our own.
I absolutely loved this book. I highly recommend it.

Thanks to NetGalley for an Advanced Readers Copy of this book. The kingdom of Ever is cursed. Their princess went missing over 80 years ago. The curse encased the Queen in glass box, trapped for almost 5 years. The princesses of Ever are cursed on their 13th birthday. Jane cannot eat. Alice cannot sleep. Nora cannot love. Grace cannot remember. Eden will soon lose hope. They are determined to break the spell when Reagan the young witch who cursed them returns before the spell turns true on the witch’s 18th birthday. This challenge takes them on a quest to visit their kingdom instead of admiring their subjects from afar, to see their father and other royals for who they really are, and take a strong stand against oppression and compliance. Will they break the spell in time for the undoing or will they be Ever Cursed?
I would give this book a 3.5. I was intrigued by the dual perspectives and stream of consciousness narration alternating between Princess Jane and Reagan the Witch. It felt like the story dragged at times for me. It wasn’t very subtle in exposing the issues it wanted to tackle like eating disorders, insomnia, and abuse. But I was intrigued enough to finish it.

Such a twisting, multi-layered story of magic, empowerment, recognition, and things never being what we think they are.

It is honestly such a slap in the face whenever a gorgeous cover like this one graces an absolute dog of a story. 3 adjectives for this story: dull, two dimensional, performative.
This book was so fucking weird and awful. I liked the Princess Jane and kinda the overall message but it was a hot mess of a book and just needed to be better over all.
