A Curse So Dark and Lonely by Brigid Kemmerer
5.0
Things I liked in this book:
- The opening scene: Harper attacking Grey with a tire iron. Gooood!
- The amount of times they tried to make Harper a damsel in distress, but she kept running away from the trope.
- She ran away thrice!
- Harper slapping Rhen and the POV changing to Rhen :D
- Grey. Everything about Grey.
- The character interactions between Grey, Rhen and Harper were nicely written. Especially liked the card game conversations.
- The POV change for the monster.
- The healer's concubine :)
- The curse wasn't actually broken by the cliched trope (Well, it was unclear but I'd like to think it wasn't a 100% broken because of sacrificing yourself for your love thingy).
- The ending was a nice change of pace from all the retellings.
