A Curse for True Love by Stephanie GarberMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
Stephanie Garber brings another dark fairytale romance trilogy to its end, and this time, while the returns have steadily diminished on this series too, she sticks the landing far better than she did with the original Caraval trilogy. It helps, I think, that she ended the second book in this series on such a mind-bending cliffhanger, which she builds off of so magnificently with this book as it becomes very clear that the journey to happily ever after will be a hell of a twisted and cursed path for poor Evangeline and the mysterious Jacks, whom she doesn't remember, and that's the way the screwed up Apollo would prefer it. Of course, happily ever after not being the desired ending after all is one of Garber's most prominent themes, and this book is no exception, but there's a hint of promise that there'll be more stories in this universe. A trilogy of trilogies now? We'll see. But for now, I bid this story world once again, ave atque vale.
