Trilogy to read: Once Upon a Broken Heart

Once Upon a Broken Heart trilogy by Stephanie Garber ✨

This trilogy is one of my favorites of all time but I will say that I was surprised by book 3 and not necessarily in a good way.

Once Upon a Broken Heart (book 1) had me so entranced by the whimsical feel while reading it that it had me instantly hooked! I loved the witty banter between characters and thought this was a great start to the series. I liked the plot that was being laid out and was grasping air for book 2!

The Ballad of Never After (book 2) was probably my favorite. Again, it had the same whimsical fairytale aspects that I loved in book 1 but the characters continued developing and the plot thickened. There were also a lot of great plot twists which kept me really entertained. The ending had me bawling though!

Due to the cliffhanger in book 2, I was really anticipating book 3 - A Curse for True Love! I was so excited for this to release. I was looking forward to reading about Jacks and Eva again and had my fingers and toes crossed that we would finally get the happily ever after we wanted for this couple. I won’t spoil it, but I was happy with how it ended. The issue I had was that the first 40-60% or so was really boring and I felt like not much really happened.. I also felt like there were so many questions left unanswered so that kind of bummed me out about this final installment as well.

Overall, I still loved this series, but books 1 and 2 were definitely my favorites and I feel like I will always continue to wonder about Eva and Jacks and things that were left unanswered.
