[3.25/5]
The Curse tells the backstory of Roxanne’s father, and describes the events leading to Roxanne’s birth. I recommend reading this novella after reading Heir of Ashes, as you’ll need to be more familiar with the world, first.
This book contains more world-building and further explains the magic system, which I appreciate, because I’m the type of person to get easily lost in fantasy books. Although, it can be quite confusing at times.
I love how the characters aren’t all ‘good-or-evil’ in this. Each of them has their own reasons for doing what they do, and even though it may seem ‘evil’, you’ll start to realise that there’s more to their story than what we can see.
It’s an interesting plot with quite the tragic ending, marking the start of a unique life that our main character never asked for but has to live through, fighting for herself and her beliefs.
