Publisher's summary

“Ideal for fans of Jennifer Donnelly’s Stepsister.” (Booklist)

Damsel meets A Heart in a Body in the World in this incisive and lyrical feminist fairy tale about a princess determined to save her sisters from a curse, even if it means allying herself with the very witch who cast it.

The Princesses of Ever are beloved by the kingdom and their father, the King. They are cherished, admired.

Cursed.

Jane, Alice, Nora, Grace, and Eden carry the burden of being punished for a crime they did not commit, or even know about. They are each cursed to be without one essential thing - the ability to eat, sleep, love, remember, or hope. And their mother, the Queen, is imprisoned, frozen in time in an unbreakable glass box.

But when Eden’s curse sets in on her thirteenth birthday, the princesses are given the opportunity to break the curse, preventing it from becoming a True Spell and dooming the princesses for life. To do this, they must confront the one who cast the spell - Reagan, a young witch who might not be the villain they thought - as well as the wickedness plaguing their own kingdom...and family.

Told through the eyes of Reagan and Jane - the witch and the bewitched - this insightful twist of a fairy tale explores power in a patriarchal kingdom not unlike our own.

Unique Story and Stellar Narration

I very much enjoyed listening to Ever Cursed! The storyline is fanciful and yet dark, reminiscent of an ancient time and yet thoroughly modern, and a layered story. The story was good but my favorite thing about this read was the narration. I loved having two distinctly different voices throughout. The narration was clear, powerful and transcended me, the listener,” completely. I will be looking for more audiobooks narrated by Araya and Abbott-Pratt!

Wonderful but dark and sometimes hard to listen

I really enjoyed the story, I enjoyed the alternating narrators that show you the world from their own view.

The story is sometimes hard to hear, uncomfortable to hear, but it ends in a satisfying way.

the main characters are well developed and feel true to the worlds they were raised in. They change as one does growing up, and the struggle of Jane coming to terms with what her father has done feels very authentic.
