Welcome to Litsy!

Book #2 in this YA fantasy. Thought it was better than the first and the ending makes me need to read 3. Grey has denied his right to reign as Rhen‘s brother but he has the magic. Good addition of another kingdom with two sisters that also see differently in standing up to their ruthless mother. On to book 3.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Oh my goodness! Kept me guessing! Can‘t wait to pick up the final instalment 😍

Although Grey is my favorite character and I loved having so much of his perspective in this book, I didn't enjoy this as much as book one. The pace felt like it was dragging a lot. I'm invested enough, though, that it's on to book 3 for me!

#serieslove2023 This sequel to the Beauty and the Beast retelling takes place after the curse is broken and the Prince is trying to rebuild and strengthen his failing Kingdom. This book doesn‘t focus on him anymore though. Instead it focuses on the other characters we met so the Beauty & the Beast aspect is gone but this new story was also really good! Lots of twists and magic, questions of loyalty and of course love. On to book 3! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I liked it. I went in knowing that this book was following different characters than the last, & I was ready for it because Rhen really Tamlin‘s up this whole thing. Looking forward to the next & how this will all come together!

I am behind on reviews because Litsy kept glitching on my phone and freezing every time I wanted to add an image!

I liked this book even more than the first one in the series, not only because of the greater focus on Grey (who I thought was the most interesting character), but also because Kemmerer was less constrained to fit the story into the Beauty and the Beast tropes. This one does have a Rapunzel bit, but it's more organic to the story.

⭐️⭐️⭐️ ◼️ As much as I loved the first one…this one not so much. I mean I liked it but it didn‘t completely do it for me. I am a huge Rhen and Harper fan so I wish there could‘ve been more of them. The writing is spectacular and that twist at the end explained the parts that didn‘t jive with me. The entire time I was like “why can‘t y‘all just talk to each other???” (Continued in comments) #LitsyLove

Loved this one even more than the first! Great characters, just the right mix of tension and tenderness, thoroughly enjoyed this one! Can‘t wait to read the series conclusion. #BookspinBingo @TheAromaofBooks

Yaassss! Loved it, love Grey. On to the next book.

The #4thBookof2021 and my 2ndQuarterof2021 was A Heart So Fierce and Broken by Brigid Kemmerer. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ !! #12Booksof2021

Hiding from the heat and reading this between naps

#CuriousCovers Day 18 #Green

Two green covers, both the 2nd in their series, both still on Mt. TBR. Both 1st in the series books were great.

Finished this finally. It was pretty good. I loved finally getting Grey‘s POV this time around. As well as a new characters. The ending was interesting

Isn‘t that cover gorgeous? So, this is volume 2 in the Cursebreakers series by Brigid Kemmerer and returning to Emberfall seems like coming home. This one is focused on Gray and he has a problem with an unlikely set of companions to aid him. Lots of adventure, magic, treachery and romance. #100YEARS100BOOKS #56 #BookSpinBingo #23 #BFC21 #SERIES2021 #YApril #5 #DisabilityReadathon #ThankfulAthon #AwesomeApril

Time to finally start this sequel.

Book 2 but I haven‘t read book 1 yet! Still I want to buy book 3! The covers are great! Bright and bold to really catch your eye. Hopefully I can get to it soon!
I‘m trying to reacquaint myself with my TBR while on a book buying ban for the month.

Here‘s my #greenbookstack 🍀📚😊 Happy St. Patrick‘s Day! 😄

I tried to read this one when it was first released but immediately became grumpy, it reminds me a bit of a court of thorns and roses when the swoony guy from the first book ends up being... well. You know. Anyway picking this back up and sticking with it meant I did actually really like it. I‘m intrigued to know how the trilogy ends because ugh. Harper girl you need to catch a break. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

AAARRGH this book?!!!

You KNOW it's a good series when book 2 flips everything in book 1 on its head.

There was a FANTASTIC introduction to Shyl Shadow and how different it is from Emberfall. So many times reading this I gasped or swore or fist-pumped (I now am banned from reading on the couch next to my husband, lol) and I can't not wait for book 3 to come in... #cursebreakers has been really enjoyable and there's so much to explore still.

Next up, because it is a hold and apparently 7 other people want to read it (I can't blame them!) is Book 2 of the Cursebreaker series. Which, tbh, I've already started reading a couple of days ago. I tend to read at least a couple of books at the same time/over the same span of time. And in other notes, my poor husband has a foot fracture and an air boot cast, and he is miserable with pain, so our routines are totally shot + I'm up all night. 😔

I didn‘t see that coming with Wren and Grey. I really enjoyed seeing more of the story unfold. I loved the twist and turns.

Typical YA trilogy middle book. 😬

Prompt: Broken Heart

This was a great follow-up to the first. It builds upon the story of Rhen & Harper coming together & trying to put the kingdom back together by twisting & making Rhen the antagonist. I wouldn't have predicted that, but it makes so much sense & adds a new layer of conflict. Grey has always been a great character, but Lia Mara is just as engaging & made this story so difficult to put down. Lots of action & drama! I can't wait to read the 3rd!

Have to listen to my #audiobook, #GhostCat has me "ghost locked" (to borrow the very apt phrase from Stroud's Lockwood and Co).

The sequel of A Curse so Dark and Lonely (which was my favourite read from 2020) is the 20th book on my #BookSpinBingo and It was also #bookspin book. I have plan to read it next week.

I liked this better than A Curse So Dark and Lonely. I loved Harper but wasn‘t a big fan of Rhen so I never really brought into the romance. I didn‘t like Grey that much in the first book either but his character development was well done and Lia Mara is awesome sauce, so a pick from me. Bring on Book 3! #popsugarchallenge2021

I loved the second one more then the first. I liked the characters a lot more in this book. Very fast paced and a page turner! #books #ireadya #fantasy

I was genuinely surprised that I enjoyed the sequel as much as the first book. I can‘t wait until the third one comes out! #bookjournal

Let‘s do this thing!!! #bookspin #doublebookspin #bookspinbingo

Finally cosy in bed with a little treat for myself! It‘s so hard to diet in the winters 😭

Finally out of my reading slump!
Time to get back to reading and hopefully completing my years challenge lol! 😂

For the good of Emberfall. I enjoyed this story from two new perspectives. I loved the female lead in this book more than Harper. I have always loved Grey and so happy this book focused on him! I can't wait for the 3rd!

Book #2 and I am already 60% through!!! #lovegrey

I usually wait on second books in a trilogy, but well, the library hold came up, and off I went a reading. The focus shifts in this one which was interesting. It's much more about the politics of alliances and war and such, so I'll be interested to see where that takes us for the next one.
Some severe pining with a new couple.
Content note: Some torture, violence, imprisonment.

F🤬ck this book

#bookspinbingo @TheAromaofBooks

#JubilantJuly @Andrew65 & July #BookSpin Bingo @TheAromaofBooks Fantastic sequel! In this adventure will see Grey & other characters like Lia Mara & Iisek. Full of adventure can't say much (spoiler free) but remember this is a YA novel, magic world will be "simple" maybe for high fantasy readers and you'll find some "cheesy" but cute romance. I just let out again my Princess Bride mood. The end will make you scream, demand the 3rd book now☺️3.8⭐️

I remember really enjoying the first book in this series, but i struggled to get through this one and ended up skimming a lot...
