A Beautiful Curse by Kenley Davidson
5.0
This was my absolute favourite book of the series! I just can't stop gushing about it. The beautiful Elisette seems timid at the beginning of the book, but the unexpected spunk she shows as a frog is just a delight to read.
First off, I really liked the idea that the heroine's beauty is a curse for her rather than a blessing, and that "True love's kiss" isn't what makes her human again. (I'm not familiar with the traditional Frog Bride fairytale, though). I also love how Kenley Davidson manages to give depth to all three princes (Cambren, Eldrick and Dauntry) as well as Elisette, and even the king in the short novella. That is, perhaps, my favourite part.
I also love that Cambren doesn't know the gender of his new frog friend until she finally transforms back into Elisette and that their love blossoms over a period of six months plus the time Elisette was a frog.
Basically, I just love every part of the book, especially since I didn't think it was rushed at all. Despite its short length, this is the only book of the entire series that doesn't seem rushed. I can't wait to read Kenley Davidson's other books!
