Cursebound

A Novel

By: Saara El-Arifi

Narrated by: Nicole Lewis

They’re no longer prisoners to the fae court, but now two elven sisters are each bound by shackles of the heart—the sequel to the national bestseller Faebound, hailed as “a devastatingly romantic and breathtaking fantasy” (Tasha Suri).

United by war.
Betrayed by destiny.
Cursed by love.

Yeeran was born for war but is unprepared for love. She has left her new lover, the Queen of the fae, to return to her homeland, only to find that her former lover now threatens war against the fae.

Left behind, her sister Lettle is determined to break the curse that binds the fae to their realm. When a stranger appears in the city, Lettle is convinced he’s the key. But the Fates that once spoke to her have fallen silent.

Can Lettle and Yeeran discover the secret behind the curse—and unite these two worlds before they destroy each other?

Nicole Lewis narration and the queer representation are exquisite

This story is wonderfully written and narrated! It brings inclusion and fantasy to a new level!

The strong connections between characters.

I need book 3 yesterday! What a great story. There was a lot of heartache in this book for Furi and a bit for everyone else,but it just seemed to keep coming for Furi. Rryan is learning to be king and Lettle the new seer could possibly break the curse of Mossima. I loved the new character Alder and his bond with Golum. And I still wish I had an obeah!

Good

I would give it 4.5 stars. I enjoyed it and where the plot went. I finished it in a day.
