Ever Cursed by Corey Ann Haydu was a fun, on the nose fantasy novel and I devoured it. It was funny, had a unique magic system, and interesting characters. This was definitely a story using fantasy archetypes to make its point, but I honestly loved it all the same. I thought the names of locations were comical, and while it did annoy me at first I think it prevents distraction from the overall message of this story. I also love that the author provided a message at the beginning of this book for anyone who may be triggered by its contents, though I will add that there is nothing too overly graphic. Overall I really loved this book and the message(s) it held regarding grief, healing, power and forgiveness.
Graphic: Eating disorder and Sexual assault
