Ever Cursed by Corey Ann Haydu
5.0
Thank you Simon and Schuster Canada for sending me a copy of this book.

Sometimes you just need a fun YA fantasy novel to escape into and this book was just that. For a YA fantasy, this book was surprisingly dark. Jane is one of five princesses who have been cursed on their thirteenth birthday. She is hoping now that her youngest sister is thirteen, the witch that cursed them will come back and they can learn how to break the curse. Reagan is the witch who cursed the princesses, but she is not the evil witch that you expect from the beginning of the book.

Throughout the book we learn more about the motivations of Reagan and what is actually happening in the kingdom of Ever. I really liked Jane and Reagan because we learn more and more about them as the book goes on, and they are not at all what I was expecting. The world building was superb and for such a short book, I thought the author did a good job of showing the world without too much explaining. I also appreciated the fact that the author had content warnings at the beginning of the novel. I have not seen this at the beginning of many novels, so I thought that this was a great detail added!

Overall, if you want a fun and magical story, then definitely check this out!
