Curse Breaker: Enchanted by Melinda Kucsera

2.5

Curse Breaker Enchanted by Melinda Kucsera has potential, but didn't always fully deliver on it.

While I found the world intriguing, there was too much that didn't feel fully fleshed out to me. The different parts just didn't always interweave smoothly, so the "map" in the characters mind had a strong litRPG feel to it, while the rest of the story did not. And while mixing and matching styles can work, here it just felt a bit bumpy.

The character was likable, but half of the plot could have been avoided if only people actually talked to each other every so often. This is a device that has always annoyed me in any genre, so definitely grinded on me.

The plot was interesting enough to keep me reading to the end, however it was quite repetitive in places. Quite a bit of back and forth without any real forward motion. Neither in solving the MCs problems, nor in understanding more of the mystery. This made the book feel really long and slow in places.

The actual solutions and action scenes often felt a bit rushed, while the other parts felt a bit meandering, so the pacing just was a bit uneven overall.

So while I didn't actively dislike it, it sadly also won't be a favourite. 2,5* rounded up
