Ever Cursed by Corey Ann Haydu
3.0
Ever Cursed
‘THE PRINCESSES OF EVER ARE BELOVED by the kingdom and their father, the king. They are cherished, admind. Cursed. Jane, Alice, Nara, Grace, and Eden carry the burden of being punished for a crime they did not commit or even know about. They are each cursed to be without one essential thing- the ability to eat, sleep
love, remember, or hope. And their mother, the Queen, is imprisoned, frozen in time in an unbreakable glass box. But when Eden's curse sets in on her thirteenth birthday, the princesses are given the opportunity to break the curse, preventing it from becoming a True Spell and dooming the princesses for life. To do this, they must confront the one who cast the spell--Reagan, a young witch who might not be the villain they thought--as well as the wickedness plaguing their own kingdom ... and family:
Told through the eyes of Reagan and Jane-the witch and the bewitched--this insightful twist of a fairy tale explores power in a patriarchal kingdom not unlike our own.’
It is told from the perspectives of the eldest princess Jane and the witch who cast the curse Reagan. I would have liked to have got to know each princess a little more and how their curse impacted them. However, I still enjoyed getting to know Jane and Reagan and how their lives intertwine. This book touches on toxic masculinity and the evils of patriarchy and how to break and over come these curses and battles.
The plot of the book, is fast paced and easy to ready. I would have liked more tension between Abbot and Reagan but understand that the book wasn’t written for that to be entertained.
Overall a great and easy read.
4/5*
