I had high expectations for this book and while I enjoyed it, I didn’t love it quite as much as A Curse So Dark and Lonely. I would still recommend this series though and I’m excited to read Brigid Kemmerer’s next fantasy release.Ī Heart So Fierce and Broken is the anticipated sequel to Brigid Kemmerer’s A Curse So Dark and Lonely, which was one of my favourite reads of the year so far.

Some elements and characters’ stories just didn’t feel finished. Some things still seemed unresolved in this book and I wonder whether it’s been left open for a sequel or spin-off. Which isn’t necessarily bad, I just felt that, after I finished this book, in some ways not much had happened, and some things were a bit predictable.Īlthough I did enjoy this book more than A Heart So Fierce and Broken, I just didn’t love it as much as A Curse So Dark and Lonely, which is definitely my favourite book in the series. There aren’t many subplots or twists and turns, in the sense that it’s quite a straightforward plot. This book was a quick read for me, but I have felt throughout the series that the plot is quite simple. With four POV characters to follow, there was a lot of ground to cover in a short amount of time, but I felt this was handled well and I did like getting POVs for all the main characters. In the final book, however, we get POV chapters from all four main characters – Harper, Rhen, Grey and Lia Mara – and I think this contributed to me enjoying this book a lot more, as Harper was my favourite character in the first book and part of what made me fall in love with it. However, because I loved A Curse So Dark and Lonely, I was still excited to dive in and see how the trilogy would end.Ī Heart So Fierce and Broken just didn’t hit the same note for me as A Curse So Dark and Lonely, and I think some of that is because Harper has such a tiny part in the second book. Having loved the first book, and felt a little disappointed by the second, I had mixed feelings going into the final instalment. A Vow So Bold and Deadly is the final book in Brigid Kemmerer’s Cursebreakers trilogy.
