so-soStar-crossed lovers at its finest! However, very little interaction between the love pair.
The villains felt flat.
The narrative style again was again top of "once upon a time".
I expected so much more from the epilogue- after all Jacks and Evangeline have been through!
so-soMaybe I would have enjoyed this more if I‘d just read the previous books, but as it was I had somewhat forgotten the plot of those stories and this one jumps right in. I was kind of confused at first as it heavily assumes you are fully up to speed, and once I did catch back on it just felt meh. Not bad or boring just not as good as the first 2 books (or as I remember them being). Way too much romance for me! 🌟🌟🌟
pickI didn't like this one as much as the second book.
The story seemed to end so abruptly, I wanted more of Jacks and Evangeline's ending than we got.
LaLa and Chaos' stories were built up in book two but did not seem to go anywhere in this book.
Other than that, I really did enjoy this book. It was so sad and heart-breaking. Apollo's development was quite surprising!
I can't wait for more of Stephanie Garber's stories in the future.
A day filled with music, books, movies, shows, and middle pic isn‘t mine but I‘m stopping by a holiday treat party to share and enjoy! I didn‘t want to be on my phone too much during it ❄️ #wintergames #snowflakesquad
pickDefinitely the best in the trilogy, although I wanted more of LaLa! Very satisfying ending. I have closure.
It was the part of herself that loved to hope. She‘d forgotten how Hope could make colours brighter and feelings warmer. How it could shift thoughts from what wasn‘t to what was possible.
Ok guys... I was let down. By the format, by the majority of the story being a summary of what happened in the last 2 books and then at the end no explanation? I had to go back to figure it out but .. love? Was the answer love? Nothing about her magic or how she's a key or what's the deal with the cuff now?
Book 2 is my favorite for sure
pickNothing but love for this series. This book was painful and enchanting, and Evangeline has some insane growth moments for herself. I have the biggest feeling of sadness knowing that I have finished Jacks and Evangeline‘s story, I don‘t want it to be over. The worlds Stephanie Garber creates in her books are transporting and truly magical.
Finally getting ready to start the final book in this magical trilogy! I am keeping my fingers crossed that Evangeline will get her happy ending! 💕📖
pickI absolutely loved this book! It wrapped up things quite nicely for the story that had been building throughout the trilogy. I loved being back in this world as Evangeline navigated all the things thrown her way. I also loved the hint of potential new books in this world at the end.

bailedThis book wasn‘t good, which was heartbreaking. No shade to anyone who liked it! Just as in the Caraval series, Garber creates a world that draws you in, but can‘t quite stick the landing. The characters and plot are all over the place, there‘s way too many POVs, and there was a bizarre choice to move the central love story plot to the back burner in favor of side character shenanigans. I really wanted to like it, but I couldn‘t continue.
So my day consisted of running some errands, cooking a fabulous clam linguine for lunch & a huge pot of veggie soup for dinner. All the while listening to my #Libby audiobook, I almost got through 50%!! What a fantastic day off today after a crazy busy day yesterday at work. Plus peep my sleepy babies in the top right corner. Oliver (orange) & Luna (black).

Would have preferred this to have been ebook but when my library hold says ‘several months‘ & your 17th in line…you take what you can get! But I have to say it‘s a perfect day bc I have so much I‘m going to do around my house & excited to start listening!

pick#serieslove2023 The 3rd book in the Once Upon a Broken Heart series wrapped up everything in a nice little bow. It wasn‘t as good as Garber‘s other books but I still enjoyed being back with Jacks and Evangeline. It picks up right at the end of book 2 so we see Evangeline with Apollo and the effects of opening the Valor arch. A nice conclusion to this series but I can see her continuing to tell stories in this world. ⭐️⭐️⭐️ 1/2
At last the collection is complete (under the dust jackets are the B&N editions). Now, I can binge the whole series....eventually lol
No one is posted yet for this! I am counting down the days! #jacks
