juliterario's review against another edition
2.0
Debo decir que tenía mis dudas con leer la secuela de Una Maldición Oscura y Solitaria, pero me aventuré con este libro de todos modos. No había oído muchas cosas buenas que digamos de A Heart So Fierce and Broken, y ahora mismo no sé si darle 2 o 3 estrellas a la última novela de Brigid Kemmerer :( Sin duda me siento decepcionada con lo que pasó con esta historia :/
“Ah yes, the most dangerous person at the party is always the girl sitting alone with a book.”
Todavía no me decido qué puntuación darle a esta novela. Algo que sin duda me enojó a montones es que lxs protagonistas de la novela anterior ya no son los personajes principales en este libro. En A Heart So Fierce and Broken tenemos dos protagonistas nuevos que, aunque habían aparecido antes como personajes secundarios, no me interesaban en lo personal. En serio, esto a mí me molestó muchísimo, ya que no soy fan de cuando cambian a los protagonistas de manera tan deliberada. No sé, me decepcionó mucho. Después, mis problemas con esta novela fueron los mismos que tuve con el libro anterior de Kemmerer: la escritura demasiado simple y poco descriptiva, personajes poco desarrollados y poco diálogo... etc. No sé, demasiadas cosas de este libro me decepcionaron, y no tengo casi nada bueno que atribuirle :( Ojalá hubiera disfrutado más A Heart So Fierce and Broken, pero bueno :/
“This one is for you, my dear reader. Look in the mirror. You’re a cursebreaker. You’re strong. You’re amazing. You are changing the world by just being in it. And I am so very proud of you.”

A good book if you view it as a standalone, but a really disappointing sequel that went in a completely different direction than the first book.

It became clear pretty quickly that this was would be from different perspectives than the previous book and I honestly couldn’t find it in myself to be interested. Maybe another time when there aren’t other books I’m more eager to read.

The new characters from the other kingdom are very annoying, and I just don't want to sit through two more books.
**Stopped at Ch4/1h14m.**

Okay, loved getting to know Grey more but super disappointed this one completely ignored the main characters of the first book. Feels like an odd choice. Not sure where the third book will take us!

I can understand why a lot of people didn't like this book- really a lot of what happens could have been avoided if the characters had actually communicated properly. That being said, I don't think this book is necessarily worse than the first one, just different. I do think choosing to follow new and different characters instead of our main two from the first book was an interesting choice, and although I did miss having Rhen and Harper's voices I did enjoy getting to see more of Grey and the new friends he makes. At times this book was frustrating, but it did keep me interested and I'm intrigued to see what happens next.
