A Curse Unspeakable by Morgan Gerhart is a cozy fantasy novel about Glory, a wonderful and unusual character who travels with a magical troupe of performers. She is on the run. 

From the first page I liked the book a lot. The writing style is amazing, very descriptive and beautiful, so you can see it before you eyes. It’s full of color and magic, as is the worldbuilding. There is action, and also a slowburn romance is woven into the story. The characters come across really well. As the story progresses, you root for Glory and Faleron, the man with many masks and you kept hoping everthing would be okay as the danger closed in. 

This book was a great surprise to me, so I kept on reading. If you like a cozy well written fantasy story, with an unusual FMC and a kind of unique setting, this is the book for you.
