A review by bookish_blanche
The Ballad of Never After by Stephanie Garber
5.0
Absolute perfection
BOOK 2 in the ONCE UPON A BROKEN HEART series
I have no words to express how this book made me feel. I am a forever fan of Stephanie and her writing that I find poetic, beautiful and very immersive, to the point that I don't even feel like I'm in the real world anymore. The world she created is absolutely breathtaking and I never want to leave it. After the masterpiece that the first book was, I didn't expect things could be even better, but boy was I wrong. This sequel is absolute perfection and I don't think I'll ever get over how amazing it was. I loved every second of it and now I only need one thing - the next book. This story is absolutely amazing. I love how whimsical, beautiful, intense, unique and gripping it is. I am in love with the characters as well, Jacks and Evangeline will forever stay in my heart, where I can protect them because I can't bear to see them hurt. I adore the magic also and the fairytale vibe of everything, how it all clicks together and how it makes my brain turn round and round to try and find the ending before I can read it. Spoiler alert: I can't xD This is one of my favorite - if not my favorite - book ever and I need the sequel yesterday.
If there is one book you need to read, it's this one. Truly.
