He was unpredictable all the time and so consistent with his character in Caraval that it was easy to get sucked back into his story almost immediately. Jacks was, as expected, the fascinating character that I remember him being, although I definitely loved him more this time around. She was so easy to root for all the way through and I really think she’s one of the most entertaining protagonists I’ve read this year.

Evangeline was a great protagonist, with a great combination of selflessness, determination and intelligence, without being needlessly reckless like a lot of YA fantasy protagonists are. Convinced that her love’s betrayal is the result of a curse or magic, she runs to the Prince of Hearts – the mysterious Jacks – and begs him to stop the wedding.īut Evangeline soon realises that you should never make a deal with a Fate, as one small agreement with Jacks sets her life on a whole new path, full of danger, betrayal and dark magic.Ĭaraval is one of my favourite series’ and I’ve had Once Upon a Broken Heart preordered since last year so my hopes were incredibly high, but it lived up to all of my expectations and more. I spent half a day screaming when my request got accepted, and then spent the rest of the day reading it so… thank you!Įvangeline has always believed in true love, fairytales and happily ever afters, but her world is turned completely upside down when she discovers that Luc, the love of her life, is engaged to someone else. First things first: THANK YOU to Hodder for sending me an eARC of this amazing book in exchange for a review.
