5.0
“Once Upon a Broken Heart” by Stephanie Garber is a fantasy novel that follows the protagonist, Evangeline Fox, as she ventures into a magical world to find true love after a heartbreak. Filled with intrigue, magical mysteries, and a captivating narrative, the book explores themes of love, destiny, and self-discovery in a whimsical setting.
Now, let’s talk pros and cons. On the upside, the book is a fun and quirky ride, delivering a delightful escapade into a world where magic and reality collide seamlessly. The world-building, particularly around the North, arches, and the enigmatic Fates, adds layers of intrigue to the narrative.
However, our main character tends to wear the rose-colored glasses of naivety, which might not be everyone’s cup of tea. Additionally, while the story sparkles, some supporting characters might feel a bit one-dimensional, leaving room for improvement in future installments.
Despite these minor quirks, “Once Upon a Broken Heart” scores a solid 4.5 stars. So, if you’re up for a whimsical journey with a touch of youthful innocence, this book is worth a spot on your reading list.
