The Stray Reader

Personal Rating:
⭐⭐⭐

Beauty and the Beast meets reverse The Knight Before Christmas in Brigid Kemmerer’s novel ‘A Curse so Dark and Lonely.’ This is the first book in the Cursebreaker Series and it did well in introducing the world, the rules, and the backstory of the key characters without dragging the exposition too long.

Personal Rating:
⭐⭐⭐⭐

The book started at the aftermath of last book’s ending — Prince Rhen and Harper in the previously cursed kingdom while Commander Grey’s fate is unknown. As the story progress, you can feel the kingdom of Emberfall open more than it ever did before.

Personal Rating:
⭐⭐

I did not expect to be this disappointed at the last book after the hype I felt from the first two that preceded. If you fancy reading a good ending, I would advise that you stay clear of this trilogy or at least stop at book one.
