![]() ![]() She works as the perfect foil for Harper, and together they give the depth of the curse a new dimension instead of letting it become repetitive. Lilith is a malevolent force to be reckoned with and her voice captures that. What is also great about the novel is that the curse was not placed there by a fairy in the hopes of teaching him a lesson the curse was because he spurned the wrong woman. It is a compelling idea brought to life by careful pacing and development. Rhen has lived in fear of the monster and the curse, letting it control him and forget his kingdom, but now he has the chance to rally his kingdom together in the hopes of preventing war. They play off each other and grow stronger together. Harper spends most of the novel trying to help Prince Rhen try to gather his kingdom together with false promises, an alliance with the kingdom of DC. However, they have such a strong dynamic with one another that makes them unique. The very idea of whether they do fall in love is left entirely up in the air. ![]() ![]() Their dynamic is fresh because even though they both know that she has to fall in love with him in order to break the curse, they are not forcing that on each other or the reader. ![]()
