‘The Cursebreaker Countess’ by Sasha L. Miller

4.5 enchanting stars

Book Blurb:

“Kas is a wanderer, exploring the country and keeping out of the reach of her stepfather's plots to marry her off and steal her fortune. When she stumbles across a field of towers one stormy night, she promptly takes shelter in the sturdiest-looking of the bunch, only to find a woman trapped in a bespelled sleep.

Breaking the curse takes seconds, but dealing with the aftermath may force Kas to return to the home she's been avoiding—and right into the sights of the mage who cursed the princess sleeping in the tower...”


Review:

‘The Cursebreaker Countess’ is a stand-alone fairy-tale type fantasy with hints of steampunk. Please note that this is not a Sleeping Beauty retelling with two ladies, as I originally thought. Instead, I was pleasantly surprised by this clean YA fantasy.

Our story begins when Kas stumbles upon Princess Anika’s tower in the middle of a storm. After awakening the sleeping princess, they travel to the palace to ascertain how best to deal with the problem of magic growing weaker and weaker over the years. It seems someone wanted the princess out of the way due to her proficiency with magic, in order to subdue and control magic in the kingdom.

Become enchanted with ‘The Cursebreaker Countess’ on August 15, 2018.

This series is LGBTQ+ friendly historical fiction, with themes of equality vs abuse of power, and a hint of steampunk.

I voluntarily read a Review Copy of this book.  All opinions stated are solely my own and no one else’s.
