Once Upon a Broken Heart by Stephanie Garber

adventurous dark emotional hopeful mysterious sad tense fast-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? N/A
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

5.0

this book was so damn chaotic. so much happened in the first 65 pages that i was scared to continue reading it but im glad i kept going. i’ve never read caraval so i don’t know how that would’ve affected my opinion on this but the world building was not too hard to follow if you read it as a standalone. i had a love hate relationship with most of the characters but that made my experience better. it made me want to scream at and/or hug the characters at the same time and it was so fun. i was reading it in sync with a friend and that made it even more fun. overall, the experience was so much fun and i loved her writing.
