A Vow So Bold and Deadly by Brigid Kemmerer
4.0

A Vow So Bold and Deadly is the third book in The Cursebreakers series by Brigid Kemmerer. A Curse So Dark and Lonely was my first YA fantasy book, and I immediately fell in love. What’s not love about a retelling of Beauty and the Beast? It tells the story of Rhen and Harper, but my favorite character was Grey so I was excited when I found out A Heart So Fierce and Broken would focus more on his story. It also includes a new character, Lia Mara. I gave both of these books 5 stars. When I heard that A Vow So Bold and Deadly would bring all four main characters together I couldn’t wait to read it.

The first four chapters alternate so each character has their own chapter. I was hooked right away! The book then goes into sections where we have Rhen and Harper alternating chapters and Lia Mara and Grey alternating chapters. I liked the way it was written from all four perspectives. The one thing I wanted though were more chapters with the four of them together.

I love Brigid Kemmerer’s books. She’s become one of my favorite authors, but I just wanted more from this story. I didn’t feel like it had the same excitement as the first two books and at times I actually found it somewhat slow. I still enjoyed it though and was happy to see how the story unfolded. I’m still #teamgrey for life!
