Marisol, her stepsister, was a character that I found really intriguing, and I am curious to see if we'll learn more about her in the future. There are some intriguing themes around love/romance, desperate bargains, politics, and choice that can be thought-provoking, and we see these play out not only in Evangeline's story but also in those around her. Everyone's motives are up for questioning in this story. I found the Fates particularly intriguing, as we meet a few along the way, and they each seemed quite compelling. What I loved: This was a book full of intriguing magics, and I loved the twists and turns it takes through this other world. As events spiral, Evangeline is left questioning everyone around her, their motives, and her own destiny. However, the manner in which he stops the wedding is one that she does not agree with, and Evangeline replaces their curse with herself. As his own kiss is said to be fatal, Evangeline is willing to accept this bargain. He agrees to stop the wedding between Luc and her stepsister in exchange for 3 kisses that she will give to people whom he chooses. However, when her love, Luc, suddenly decides to marry her stepsister instead, Evangeline believes that he is been bewitched and decides to take matters into her own hands.ĭespite knowing that all the stories say it will end terribly, Evangeline goes to a fate, the Prince of Hearts, to make a bargain.
These tales are cursed so that they are never told the same way and may be filled with falsehoods. Told from the perspective of Evangeline, a young woman who grew up in her father's shops, particularly the Curiosity shop, and who has lived on the magical tales from the North. ONCE UPON A BROKEN HEART is an unusual fairytale that begins with a bargain and winds through unexpected twists and turns.
