Ever Cursed by Corey Ann Haydu
5.0
The Princesses of Ever are beloved by the kingdom and their father, the King. They are loved. Cursed.
Jane, Alice, Nora, Grace, and Eden carry the burden of being punished for a crime they did not commit, or even know about. Each princess has been cursed to be without one essential thing—the ability to eat, sleep, love, remember, or hope. THe Queen, is frozen in time in an unbreakable glass box.
When the youngest princess turns 13, its a race as they are given the opportunity to break the curse, preventing it from becoming a True Spell and dooming the princesses for life. They only have four days to complete their tasks. They meet the young witch who cast her spell, Reagan bur all isn't as it appears to be. Maybe she isn't the villain in the story.
Told by two different perspectives Jane and Reagan. This was a wonderful read but also incredibly thought provoking.
Jane and Reagan are both strong characters. Jane is a princess who was destined to be queen, she has the mentality that she is royalty and therefore good. Reagan made a rash decision over something she was told, cursing the princess' and maybe getting more than she bargained for.
With the princess' cursed, they are treated as objects. Other royalty see them as a prize to be won and they don't want the princess' to break they spell. They are alluring as enchanted.
This book made me think about consent, how people should be treated and how women and men are treated in society. I didnt go into this book thinking it would be deep and meaningful, a message everyone should hear. The trauma in this is very well written and an accurate representation of just how people deal with their trauma in different ways.
Reagan's mother is broken, loud noises and sharp movements send her spiraling.
Jane finds it hard to believe her father, her kind, loving father would do such a thing to someone. Her representation of her grief of loosing a father figure, finding out who he was and what he did was was well done. From denying to accepting.
I can't praise this book enough, by far one of the most thought provoking and unique story I've read this year.
