Review by val_theburrowofstories - Once Upon a Broken Heart

Did not finish book. Stopped at 78%.

(Tried to read this in July 2024)

It actually makes me so angry to remember that I pushed through how shitty Caraval was and my hate towards one of the sisters because I thought they would be important here, and they’re here for 5 minutes!
I ended up DNFing this book because I cannot go through another trilogy where I hate the main character. I love fantasy books but I just cannot deal with incredibly stupid girls as main characters 😭
If I say that I hated Evangeline and Donatella more than Apollo (as far as I’ve known him) then what lol
Besides, I did not really care about Jacks that much or this world.
In general, to me this was medium paced, boring as fuck and annoying because of Evangeline.
I was so angry when I DNF this book that I just thought I read a completely different book and I just kept wondering how the fuck someone gives it 5 stars lmao
Like who DNFs a book at 78%!!! I was so close to finishing this, it was that serious!! she was that stupid! And look, I tried to keep reminding myself “she’s only 16/17”… but istg I was not stupid at that age and as much as I found Clary Fairchild annoying too, at least she made some smart decisions and saved the world, meanwhile Evangeline would be the reason why the world ends.
So yeah… this might be the last book I pick up from this author because I had enough, her books are not for me.
