The Cursebreaker Countess by Sasha L. Miller

The Cursebreaker Countess by Sasha L. Miller

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


I received an ARC of this book from Less Than Three Press and Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

A woman named Kas comes across a sleeping woman when she goes into a tower to escape the rain. The woman has been asleep for some sixty-odd years, and is awakened by Kas. For that is Kas’ nature, no not waking sleeping women – destroying magic. She touched something, something else happened, and the sleeping woman was no longer asleep. Said her name was Anika, then admitted to being the Lost Princess (well, being a princess of that kingdom, and Kas informed her of that title, the ‘Lost Princess’ one).

The two talk. Kas filling in a little on what has happened the last 66 years. Anika fell asleep, by however means, in a world of magic. But magic doesn’t work in that kingdom any longer – at least new magic doesn’t, and magic that’s already working can’t be fixed if Kas touches it.

I do not wish to do a step by step plot-line break-down, so let’s move on, eh?

The main character is Kas. She’s the ‘Cursebreaker Countess’ of the title, though providing more explanation than that might be too much spoiler information. The entirety of the story is from Kas POV.

I rather enjoyed this story – it had a nice ‘vibe’ to it, and it was a pleasure to read. The beginning and middle were great. The ending . . . eh, what needed to be done was done, but the ending did kind of seem abrupt regardless.

Right, so, I liked the main characters – Kas and Anika. The story was good. There are things left incomplete, but that’s more of a ‘what happens next’ type of feeling than a ‘plots not completed’ type of feeling.

Rating: 4.38
