similar to 'courting the king in yellow', 'lovecraft's curse' is an interesting idea, an thus my two stars go towards that in and of itself. however, it really goes no further than that.
the writing is overly simple, so much so that i feel that at least half the book could have been cut out due to excessive repetition (and thus quite a bit could have been added to the story).
while most characters were fairly well defined, no real development occurred - fela (the main character) was the same person at the end of the story as she was in the very beginning.
there is clearly a magic system in place in letendre's world of the _parted veil_, but all we see of it here are boring (and seemingly nonsensical) latin phrases - it reminded me of the harry potter series, without any of the excitement.
beycene, the primary antagonist of this story, was introduced and presented as an interesting 'creature' - but over time grew boring - as with fela, no development whatsoever.
again - while the execution was poor, the concept is very good.
