The Curse Behind The Mask by Holly J. Gill
2.0
1.5 stars, but I rounded up since this was the story that explains the series.
The writing in this is just bad. The author couldn’t seem to decide if this was a medieval fairy tale world or a modern story, so there are chunks of prose interchanged with vulgar interjections.
The mistakes like using “cease her” vs. “seize her” are one thing, but at times this book just felt stitched together with different voices. The scenes jump quickly, the story pacing feels rushed, and then you get weird sentences that can only be described as a middle-school guy describing fake encounters with his made-up girlfriend who “lives out of state.”
