Ever Cursed by Corey Ann Haydu
3.0
Thanks to NetGalley for an Advanced Readers Copy of this book. The kingdom of Ever is cursed. Their princess went missing over 80 years ago. The curse encased the Queen in glass box, trapped for almost 5 years. The princesses of Ever are cursed on their 13th birthday. Jane cannot eat. Alice cannot sleep. Nora cannot love. Grace cannot remember. Eden will soon lose hope. They are determined to break the spell when Reagan the young witch who cursed them returns before the spell turns true on the witch’s 18th birthday. This challenge takes them on a quest to visit their kingdom instead of admiring their subjects from afar, to see their father and other royals for who they really are, and take a strong stand against oppression and compliance. Will they break the spell in time for the undoing or will they be Ever Cursed?
I would give this book a 3.5. I was intrigued by the dual perspectives and stream of consciousness narration alternating between Princess Jane and Reagan the Witch. It felt like the story dragged at times for me. It wasn’t very subtle in exposing the issues it wanted to tackle like eating disorders, insomnia, and abuse. But I was intrigued enough to finish it.
