A Curse For True Love: the thrilling final book in the Once Upon a Broken Heart series Paperback – 20 Jun. 2024

A wonderful conclusion to a trilogy that I have absolutely loved.With magic and romance, the story really takes you on an emotional journey before ending perfectly.Out of the three books, this one felt a bit slower paced and it felt like there was less going on in the story, though it wrapped all the threads of the narrative up nicely. The direction that one of the characters went in felt a bit jarring compared to how they were set up in the first two books but it made for an entertaining and gripping storyline.I'm so glad I read this trilogy and will be recommending it to anyone who loves fairytales but also to those who want to dip their toe into fantasy as this would be a fantastic introduction to the genre.

Loved this trilogy and this was a good ending, it lacks a few details and has some semi-loose ends. But overall wonderfully amazing.Jacks <3

Wow, what a refreshing read. All 3 books had me hooked! Stephanie has a talent that translates into her writing, her detail sent my imagination into spirals and bought a deep sadness when I had to say goodbye to Jacks and Evangeline in the last page. Now back to reality 🙁

I purchased this on a whim and it quickly became one of my favourites. I very promptly purchased book 2 and 3 as well. I devoured this trilogy and highly recommend it. It constantly kept me intrigued and guessing what would happen next.

This is arguably my favourite book series. I’ve read each one as it came out and reread them several times since. I reread 1 and 2 back to back in preparation before reading 3 so I feel I can pretty confidently say it’s not as strong as the first 2. It just feels less cohesive and fully thought out as a narrative. There are a few threads that are introduced but either not seen through to completion or just brushed over later with one line of exposition dialogue as if this adequately ties off threads for the reader. I usually advocate for as condensed a series as possible so i wouldn’t normally want this but it almost feels like this series could have either benefited from another book in the series to give adequate space to all these ideas or parts of the novel needed cutting entirely to free up that space. Too much of this book felt like ideas jotted down on a word document that had the note “flesh out later” attached, only later never came. Towards the end of the book it felt particularly disjointed, like the reader was getting bombarded with 10 or so plausible points at which the narrative could have ended only to see across the page an “and another thing!”point which broke the momentum. It felt like being in a car with a novice driver who doesn’t know how the pedals work yet as we stop and start… which was such a shame to end the book in this manner because 1 & 2 as I said felt like expertly crafted masterpieces that deftly guided the reader to climatic tension. Perhaps 3 will get better on a reread. But I think the ending was so rushed and the characters I had grown to know and love so radically changed in their behaviours in such a short span at the end i fail to see how it wouldn’t leave a taste just as sour the second time around. If I sound harsh it is because I am disappointed. The story we were given was good, but oh gods it could’ve been magnificent.

Love this edition, unfortunately I wasn't able to secure the second book.As for the book, it is OK. Interesting and partly different than other fantasy story lines and then again not really 🙈 waht a great review here

so good but did not need that many apollo chapters

This series had me sat, turning page after page long after my bed time! Absolutely loved the romance in this story and all the characters. A story world I would love to fall back into for the first time.
