once upon a broken heart by stephanie garber

The premise promises a fairytale, but what Garber delivers is a confused nightmare. To put it simply, Once Upon a Broken Heart is a hot mess. This is a pretty successful start to a companion series and i am genuinely looking forward to how the story will play out! i enjoyed reading about the old royal family, the arches, the prophecy and how jacks has made evangeline the center of it all.

I love that the plot is very magic-focused, particularly on a new kind of magic that hasnt been explored yet in the world of caraval (which is surprising because there is so much). i also think evangeline is a great new character and her chemistry with jacks is amazing. so it was interesting to see how he bounces back and the different kinds of mischief he gets into. it was nice to see a glimpse of what scarlett and donatella were getting up to, but i also loved the focus on jacks. It was honestly so good to be back and revisit some old, beloved characters. This book made me remember that my answer to the age old question, “if you could live in any fictional world, which one would it be?” is the world of caraval. That's all for now, but I can't wait to share more soon! xo And he has plans for Evangeline that will either end in the greatest happily ever after, or the most exquisite tragedy… But after Evangeline’s first promised kiss, she learns that the Prince of Hearts wants far more from her than she’d pledged. She knows his powers are mythic, his kiss is worth dying for, and that bargains with him rarely end well.īut when Evangeline learns that the love of her life is about to marry another, she becomes desperate enough to offer the Prince of Hearts whatever he wants in exchange for his help to stop the wedding. The first book in a new series about love, curses, and the lengths that people will go to for happily ever after.Įvangeline Fox was raised in her beloved father’s curiosity shop, where she grew up on legends about immortals, like the tragic Prince of Hearts. I'm so excited to share that Once Upon a Broken Heart has a full description: The UK will have a separate and very different cover, which will be revealed at a later date. I hope you all love the cover as much as I do! Update, March 11: I'm so excited to share that Once Upon A Broken Heart has a US cover! It was revealed today Frolic, along with an interview and a sneak peek of the prologue. Update, April 15: If you've been waiting for a signed US edition, Barnes and Noble has just announced their exclusive edition-it has bonus material, a secret cover printed on the hardcover case, and it's PINK!
