Now that was intresting. I do admit that the beginning reminded me a lot of The Magpie Lord. But since I loved it, that's no bother.

Love can make people mad. Or maybe they were mad to begin with.

Should there ever be a sequel then I would gladly read it.

A very interesting historical with curses and magic which gives the book a very dark beginning. I finished this book in one sitting. It was super interesting and I wanted to know how the MC gets out of the situation. The romance between the MCs were believable and characters were interesting. I could guess what one of the MCs was, but that did not change my enjoyment. This is a new author to me and I thoroughly enjoyed reading the book.
