The End of the Curse

Fifteen years ago, Oscar was cursed by the Witch of Silence to never sire children, seemingly dooming the Farsas royal family line. And though Tinasha finally succeeds in ending the wicked enchantment, there is little time to celebrate, as one incident crops up after another. In the midst of it all, the Witch of Silence makes her move. No one has ever known why the powerful woman cursed Oscar, and the truth is more shocking than anyone could have realized.

The story getting more complicated and action packed, I thought it would end in cliffhanger but it's not but it does makes me a little worry about what kind of event would unleashed in the last book.

Gorgeous writing, excellent character development, and fascinating concepts. Furumiya’s world is dark and treacherous. Magic in the hands of Tinasha is the flip side to her beauty. She is deadly, not heroic. Practical, not merciful. She is so powerful that she dances at the edge of being human, eventually finding herself pushed beyond its limits towards the end. Fortunately, Tinasha & Oscar’s relationship seems to have recovered from the time reset. Their lovey-dovey bickering and banter grounds Tinasha and prevents her from forgetting her humanity. I thoroughly enjoyed this volume and look forward to the conclusion in Vol. VI.

Another great installment, though a certain detested item made a brief reappearance which was a super bummer -.- I love all the answers we’re getting compared to the first three volumes, and how things have been subtly revealed to be changed. It’s not a perfect series, but it’s a fun read and really engaging.

Hands down

[Jeremy Grant · Rating 2 out of 5]

Yup still don't like the direction this story went. I found it repetitive from the previous volumes though things have slightly changed but not enough to keep me excited.

3.5, lost interest in the middle but it had a nice plot near the end

Todavía no perdono a Oscar.

[Peter Johnson · Rating 4 out of 5]

Finally, the kind of story I was expecting from the beginning. Many of the plot lines come together, with a lot of events from earlier books being explained or expanded on. And Tinasha is developing into the ultra-powerful mage, possibly even going beyond what she was in the first timeline. Can't wait to read what happens next.

But still some annoyances. Each chapter introduces Tinasha by appearance, instead of just by name. I would understand that for the first chapter, but every chapter? And then every time Tinasha gets with arms reach of Oscar, he grabs her and sets her on his lap, regardless of who is present. And he insists on pinching her cheek. Once or twice might have been cute, but constantly?

A beautiful continuation of Unnamed Memory. This volume was a bit more lackluster compared to the others, but still delivered an absolutely stunning tale with enjoyable artwork. Every moment was worth the time it took to read. ~ Finally! Our rag-tag-duo is back in it's full glory and I truly am curious how vol. 6 will turn out after we had such stunning events.
