A review by delaneybull
The Cursed Towers by Kate Forsyth

3.0

This installment was interesting. It felt a little like a filler novel for the big action sequence in a future novel, but I liked it. I really enjoyed Lilanthe getting a more prominent role in the narrative, and that Iseult and Isabeau were both pretty equally talked about. I'm a little concerned that Iseult is getting too domesticated. Like yes, she's in love with Lachlan and they're having kids, but that doesn't mean her fire and spirit is gone. So I hope that changes in the next novel. Maya's storyline was more compelling in this book, which I enjoyed. Overall though, it wasn't an ultra captivating novel, which was a little disappointing. I thought the ending fight/drama sequence was lacking in this novel. Oh and I really don't like that Lachlan is becoming this egotistical, proud douche to everyone around him, it's very unbecoming and doesn't match well with how Forsyth has been characterizing him in the previous novels.
