This book and its sequel, A Heart So Fierce and Lonely, are also available through the Cloud Library. Review by Andrea Terry, who works at the Circulation Desk. I have not been so utterly involved in a book in years, and this is by far my favorite fairy tale retelling ever. Loyalty, love, hope, fate, strategy, danger, and the value of a life complicate and enrich this complex, engaging story. The traditional Beauty and the Beast fairy tale is only one thread of this brilliant retelling. Whose brother is playing thug in attempt to keep the wolves away from his tenuous situation. Harper, whose smart mouth and fighting spirit have gotten her in and out of trouble for years. He is interrupted by Harper – and ends up with her, instead. A Curse So Dark and Lonely by Brigid Kemmerer 4. In this last attempt to save the prince and the Kingdom, Grey goes to Washington D.C. Each season, Rhen is transformed into a monster who ravages his own people, his castle, and his people’s trust. Each season, Grey leaves Emberfall and goes to “the other side,” fetching a woman they hope can fall in love with Rhen.
This one, strengthened by deaths of all the rest, has created a curse and bestowed it upon Rhen and Grey. Rhen’s father, while he was alive and ruling Emberfall, made the mistake of systematically slaughtering all of the mages in his kingdom. A Curse So Dark and Lonely by Brigid Kemmerer. In an instant, Harper’s life changed from one of deadly danger, as lookout for her brother’s nefarious doings, to a life of deadly danger, trapped in a castle with a lethal man-at-arms (Grey) and a monster/prince (Rhen). Harper is serving as a lookout for her brothers crimes when she sees a man attempting to kidnap a young woman.
