goodeyreads 's review for:
Garden of the Cursed
by Katy Rose Pool
medium-paced
SAVED BY THE ROMANCE.
BLOG || INSTAGRAM
This was a good series starter. I really enjoyed it and loved the audiobook.
I do think the world building and magic system needed some more explanation. I still feel a bit confused at how everything works and why. It kind of had a dystopian vibe? historical? fantasy? some combination of all three.
The FMC was great though. I liked her character and her perseverance to find out the clues to her mother’s disappearance. I especially loved the romance. Old friends to enemies to fake dating to wanna be lovers to enemies again?! YES PLEASE. So much tension and heat between them. I can’t wait to see where this romance goes.
Just a truly good read and an easy book for me to recommend. It had a lot of elements I continually enjoy seeing in YA books and the ending has me on pins and needles for the conclusion.
Overall audience notes:
- YA Fantasy
- Language: light (but strong)
- Romance: kisses
- Violence: moderate
- Trigger/Content Warnings: physical and weapons violence, magical manipulations and violence, low blood/gore, murder
