What a GREAT final book! I loved learning more about Dimia and her magick is slowly killing her? Wow.. honestly I love that she just wants to do what her mother set out to. I was not her biggest fan but this book changed that! Also, the fact that she has to have allies even though people are afraid of her or hate her lol

Now it all makes sense! All of my confusion and questions while reading book one and two has been answered. The Cursed Daughter was such a thrilling conclusion for this series! It was epic, action-packed and full of unexpected revelations. The world-building in this book is really great, writing style was very addictive and the character development is *chef's kiss* Also, I can't deny that the magical world and creatures are captivating!

"Everyone deserves happiness...Trust me. One day, you will realize that you do deserve love and a long life. I want to be beside you when you realize it."

I was a little bit shocked and pleased at the same time that it was told in the perspective of Dimia. I learned a lot about her and even get to understand where she's coming from. I hated her at first but this book changed it all! It was a rollercoaster ride for me. Kumud was my favorite character but after reading and knowing the backstory of Dimia, oh boy! All the betrayals, secrets and plot twists were amazing. I admire Dimia for being strong and I think she has indeed a sense of leadership in her. Moreover, I honestly love the sisterly bond in the story. Besides the awesomeness of the series, it was also heartfelt because Aymeri, Kumud and Dimia finally found each other. The meaning of family and love were really on point.

"You must find your path on your own. You must unlock the magick inside of you."

It was such an amazing and epic read for me! A great way to end the series❤️

An EPIC conclusion to a phenomenal series! I am so glad that I was able to review an ARC from Aimee Shaye! Like a few books, I went in with prior expectation due to reading her last two novels, and OH BOY! My expectations were exceeded, and Aimee brought me on an emotional roller coaster! I cannot believe how Aimee got me so involved with the series and pulled at my heartstrings numerous times! I am heartbroken that this PHEONOMIAL series is over but I cannot wait to read what Aimee has next!

An absolutely thrilling conclusion to this EPIC magical adventure of betrayal and self discovery, The Cursed Daughter is the perfect ending to a completely captivating series!

"You must find your path on your own. You must unlock the magick inside of you. Only then will you be strong enough to defeat the Darkonaii"

Can the sisters see past all the secrets and lies to truly discover what is ment to be?

Aimee Shaye absolutely blew me away , I went into this book thinking it could only possibly go one way, but I was completely wrong and I couldn't be happier.....The Cursed Daughter is a full on action packed rollercoaster of revelations and as each lie unravels the pieces of the story come together perfectly leaving us with an ending that I now wouldn't have any other way!

I have loved everything about this magical world this author has created and even though the ending was perfect I'm a little sad to say goodbye. The world building and character development throughout the whole series has been amazing and an absolute pleasure to read and wow if this is how this author has started I'm excited about future reads , because I know for sure from now on I'll be eagerly waiting to devour everything and anything she writes.

100% recommended series 💜

“The Cursed Daughter” is Dimia’s book, and we find out more about her, her backstory, and the reasoning behind her motives. Empress Dimia is cursed, a fact that she has tried to keep from her enemies for a very long time. The dark magick that she was born from is very slowly killing her, and she needs to complete her goal before she dies - uniting the kingdoms, as her mother always wanted. But as Dimia finds new sources of information, she slowly pieces together that what she has known all her life might not be the truth. Now Dimia, who has always been alone, must find allies that will help her - a hard task, considering all of the kingdoms either hate her, fear her, or both.

This last book was completely and totally epic! An absolutely spellbinding conclusion to a wonderful series. If you hated Dimia before reading this novel, I promise you, your feelings are going to change!!! Dimia has her faults, but she is overall a strong and confident heroine who really believed that she was doing what was best for everyone. This book was absolutely fantastic, and I completely recommend it, the series, and Aimee Shaye as an author.

I received a copy of this book from the author, and am voluntarily leaving a review.

An absolutely epic conclusion to this self discovery series. "You must find your path on your own. You must unlock the magick inside of you. Only then will you be strong enough to defeat the Darkonaii"

[AJ · Rating 4 out of 5]

3.5 stars!

The finale of the series! With more character development and plot twists, the finale is said from the point of view of Dimia, which I liked more because we get to know more about how she turned to be who she is. That's my favorite thing about the book😍.

As usual the writing was easy & flowy. The thing I felt about the whole series is that to add a little bit more suspense and hype to the chapters.

We learned how Queen Ismana came to rule. We learned how Dimia found her family again amidst everything they have been through.

We learned how all sisters came to be warriors and learn to control their magic. But I think at the heart of this series is about finding your family and loving them for who they are. This was a great way to end The Cursed Kingdom series.

[Crystal · Rating 5 out of 5]

I found this book action packed, suspenseful, a page turner, very intriguing and so much more. How this book and series ended was not what I expected.
I highly recommend this book and will read again.

Such a great ending to this magical world! The world building and character development throughout the whole series has been amazing and an absolute pleasure to read throughout the rollercoaster of revelations that get unraveled.

[Chaos · Rating 5 out of 5]

There was definitely more the story than what came out in pieces. I can't say I'm surprised about the goddess and the Sorceress. That was to be expected. I knew there was something bigger going on. All those lives lost and families destroyed for nothing more than a lie. I think that's the most heartbreaking part of the book. The whole thing being in Dimia's POV made it even more heartbreaking. Once she realized the truth, the absolute guilt, heartbreak, and pain she felt had me crying. I felt so bad for her. She was lied to over and over, and she lost so badly. She lost so much at her own hands over a lie. That is just devastating in one of the worst forms. I'm glad that the truth came out and Dimia was freed from the prison of her own making. Truth, while painful, can set you free. This series is amazing with its complexities and plot. The way each book was a different girls POV made it so much better. This story is so good and definitely one of my new favorites.

Aimee did it again. I was captured inside the third book in the series even deeper than the first two, willingly, of course! The way she weaved the stories of the three daughters together was respectable. I had every emotion course through me as I read these books. This third book wrapped up all loose ends and made a very impressive story of kingdoms that found their ways back to each other. I am sad I finished it!

[Samantha · Rating 5 out of 5]

The Cursed Daughter is amazing! It's a great end to the Cursed Kingdom Trilogy. I loved getting to see things from Dimia's perspective. This book and the entire trilogy had me hooked. I was able to read it fairly quick and able to really relate to characters. I loved the surprise at the end. Aimee did a great job writing this novel and I would recommend this trilogy to anyone.
