k_huskic 's review for:
Of Curses and Contempt
by H.L. Hamilton
This story had a lot of the things I like in a fantasy novel - fae, magic, prophecies, romance - I enjoyed it!
Lark was a healer with no magic, in a town where magic was commonplace and she was the odd one out. Heading off to find an item to help cure her father's illness she witnesses something she shouldn't have, and meets someone who is legend in her world. Someone she should be afraid of, if rumours are true, but can't help but be drawn to.
I did like Lark as a character, though miscommunication is not my favourite trope. I really wish people would just ask/answer questions, and not jump to conclusions. The secondary characters were fun, I liked them, as well as Locke.
I enjoyed the way the story unfolded, I was sucked in from page 1. Now, that ending? Definitely need to know what happens next!
