I LOVED Faebound. I suggested it to anyone and everyone. I thought for sure I would also love Cursebound... I did not. I felt as though Faebound did a good job of separating itself from the overabundance of Fae-based fantasy books. Cursebound did not provide the same separation, instead, it's easy to confuse with one of the many other fae fantasy books out there. There were several times I stopped and went "why is this important?" Part of me wants to go back and remember why I loved Faebound so much but I'm worried my view will be tainted knowing what came next.
I also bought the Fairyloot edition before reading it, so it would match my Faebound but this was just disappointing.
