Ever Cursed by Corey Ann Haydu
3.0
For me, It felt like the story ended before it even began. And I am not saying this in the sense that the book was so good I didn't realise when I reached the end, no, not at all. Even though there is a mystery in the story it doesn't keep you up all night and forces to finish the book. And I was really expecting something like that after seeing the cover and the title.
The story had some big revelations ( that the good and gentle king and loving father of five daughters, is, in reality, selfish, self-righteous, rapist of many women and the oldest witch is actually the lost princess). But these revelations don't come as a shock, you can decipher them easily if you pay attention to Little details.
What annoys me most is the main characters are soo not curious about the most important things. They ask important questions at the very last moment. If they had been more persistent about knowing everything from the beginning the story could have ended in half the time it took. I just like more rebellion in my characters I guess
