A Curse for True Love by Stephanie Garber
4.0
"Please, Little Fox, remember."
Honestly, Stephanie's writing improves with each book, but they all have the same issues.
For one, her characters are fairly two-dimensional and we never really learn the why behind their actions, which is rather weird for a character-driven story.
Then there's the fact that a lot of the events that unfold are there merely to push the story forward and are never explained fully.
I am happy that Jacks got his happy ending and I loved all of his scenes with Evangeline where he's just so exquisitely tortured in that "if-i-kiss-her-she-dies" type of way, but there was so much potential in this book for us to learn things. And it was never utilized.
Is 4⭐️ too high of a rating? Probably. But I loved tortured Jacks a tad too much. And the quotes quoted.
"I am a monster, but whether you remember it or not, I am your monster, Evangeline."
"Being yours does not make you mine."
And Evangeline is still boring, even if she got slightly better throughout the trilogy.
"This is a very bad idea," Jacks murmured.
"I would have thought you liked bad ideas."
"Only when they're mine."
