A review by djinnia
The Assassin's Curse by Cassandra Rose Clarke
4.0
I read a review on a forum of this book by one of my writing site buddies. She adored it so I had to check it out.
It starts off with a bang when the pirate's daughter runs away from her arranged marriage and ends up being tracked by an assassin hired to kill her.
It gets more complicated when she saves the assassin's life, putting him under a curse (hence the title.)
The rest of the story is their misadventures trying to find a way to break the curse.
I thought this was a fun tale. It went fast, and I enjoyed all the characters.
Told in Annana's voice, the reader sees through her eyes as she discovers more about herself and the world around her than what was on her father's pirate ship. She also learns that not all things are not what they seem when it comes to people.
I want to read Pirate's Wish, the second book as well as the short stories connected to the world.
