A Curse So Dark and Lonely by Brigid Kemmerer

4.0

This is a solid 3.5 stars, but I’m rounding up to 4. The book was very readable, and I enjoyed the world building and the characters. The writing was good and sometimes very good, but every now and then there was just a little too much of bluntly telling the reader what is going on (Heavy Handedness). I know this is YA, but I think teens would get it. I’m not always a huge fan of angst though, so someone else might appreciate this.

I was disappointed in the ending. It felt forced into a sequel rather than growth into one. I also would have liked to see a different romantic pairing.
