(A curse so dark and lonely - chapter 53)

Harper's finally got it

[kiwichaeng]

I finished the Cursebreaker trilogy and I don't know what to do with my life anymore <3

[reverie-quotes]

I want so desperately to turn it into more, to see where this blossoming attraction will lead. But I have come close before. I have found this moment before. The only difference is that I have never wanted it so badly.

✩🏰🥀 Review:

“A Curse So Dark and Lonely” is the “Beauty and the Beast” retelling of my dreams! Kemmerer tells the story from Rhen and Harper’s points-of-view, giving us both Belle and the Beast’s perspectives, which I enjoyed. While Rhen share’s the Beast’s arrogance, Harper is no Belle. She’s much better! When she is kidnapped from Washington DC and taken to the land of Emberfall, she is no longer able to benefit from her brother’s protection. She learns how to handle an assortment of weapons in order to defend herself in her new environment, transforming into a badass warrior princess. Her cerebral palsy does not get in the way of her becoming this version of herself and she proves to the people around her that she can do anything able-bodied people can do. I truly love the dis/ability representation in this novel! Rhen also undergoes many changes as a character. He initially isolated himself from his kingdom to protect his people from the beast. Harper helps him come to the realization that his absence was more harmful than helpful. His arrogance slowly gives way to selflessness, showing that deep down inside he has always cared for his people and would give his life for them. Kemmerer writes slow burn well! Rhen falls first. He grows fiercely protective of Harper and does everything he can to get her home, acknowledging that her departure would leave him prey to the curse. The longer Harper stays in Emberfall, however, the more she falls in love with the kingdom and the prince she thought was her enemy. There is just so much to love about this book, which is why it instantly made my favorites list! If you have not read “A Curse So Dark and Lonely” already, do yourself a favor and pick it up!

Honestly, A Curse So Dark and Lonely instantly became one of my favourite books. It was an absolute delight to read (and I was going through a book slump at the time but was so captivated by this story) but then. Came A Heart So Fierce and Broken. I started really disliking Grey, the reasons to which I will write in another post someday. But then. I read A Vow So Bold and Deadly. Absolute let down. The end was SO unsatisfactory I can’t even begin to describe. The book itself was unsatisfactory. Rhen and Harper’s apparently had a glow down instead of a glow up. Like???? Bridget Kimmerer please write a new 3rd book and cancel AVSBAD.

Anyone relate? hmu I really need someone to talk to about this...

I just started reading a curse so dark and lonely and WHY does Harper have such intense “not like other girls” disease 💀

A work in progress. I know I like a book or series when I wanna make art for it haha. I’m struggling with the watercolor but it’s one of my favorite mediums, I like the effect of water colors.

"I wish she had. Not because of the curse, or because of Karis Luran, or because of Emberfall. Because I have fallen in love with her"

(A curse so dark and lonely - chapter 38)

Yet another quote from Rhen's PoV and I'm not even ashamed.

[inlovewithfictionalcharacters2]

I NEED CARDAN, RHEN, REID, MAXON, MAVEN AND CAL IN MY LIFE

okay maybe Maven if he didn't have Elara in his life

I stand and hold her until the music fades and the night grows too cold. But inside I’m warm, and my heart wants to sing.

"I had not planned on how it would feel to let her go."
