Oh wow! Just wow! The sequel to Once Upon a Broken Heart does not suffer from a second book slump that most people often think of when it comes to trilogies. In my opinion The Ballad of Never After improves on the already impressive high that Once Upon a Broken Heart left us on.
The relationship between Jacks and Evangeline continues to be explored in new and exciting ways through different settings throughout the book, new adventures, and some unexpected betrayals and enemies. This book also had more action then I was expecting. This is a spoiler free review but The Hollow scenes. Ifykyk.
I’m so excited to continue! That ending messed me up! And I need to know what happens next!
I truly feel this series will stick with me for years to come and I haven’t even finished it yet. Jacks and Evangeline are endgame. They are forever. They are what true love looks like. Five stars! ...more
Finally decided on a rating and I am choosing Four Stars. I wanted it to be my next ACOMAF and it was not. Which is unfair of me to ask from this bookFinally decided on a rating and I am choosing Four Stars. I wanted it to be my next ACOMAF and it was not. Which is unfair of me to ask from this book. But there was so much hype for this book and I feel that actually hindered my enjoyment. So good, but overhyped. ...more
From Blood and Ash meets Beauty and the Beast in this gay fantasy romance. I have been excited to read this since the author first men★★★★★ — 5 Stars!
From Blood and Ash meets Beauty and the Beast in this gay fantasy romance. I have been excited to read this since the author first mentioned he was writing and releasing this book this year. I patiently (ok, impatiently) waited for this to come out… and I wasn’t disappointed.
My favorite kind of retellings are beauty and the beast retellings. I would find it would be tricky to respect the original tale but put your own twist on it. I find Ben Anderson does a good job of blending new and old together to craft a story that has similar beats to the original story while being something different.
I really enjoyed the characters that we met along the way and hated the villains. I enjoyed the romance a lot. It was my favorite trope of all time. Enemies-to-Lovers! It was actually more slow burn than I thought it would be. Which I really liked.
The only issue I had was the ending left some questions I wish were answered. Mainly what happened to certain characters that were also a part of this curse. Overall despite that minor issue, I still am giving this five stars! I enjoyed it that much! It also gets my recommendation. ...more
DNF at around 40%. This book just couldn’t hold my interest. It has been almost two weeks since I put this book down and I have no interest in pickingDNF at around 40%. This book just couldn’t hold my interest. It has been almost two weeks since I put this book down and I have no interest in picking it back up. I don’t feel this series is bad, but this is the highest rated book in the trilogy and if this is the best this series has to offer then, I don’t want to read anymore. Everything just felt so dry. I am rating it two stars since I feel like I put enough time and energy in this book and in this world. ...more
