Status Updates From Cursed (Cursed Magic #1)

Did not actually finish yet… currently on chapter 29. Might have to go back and reread later

I'm rooting for the beast.

Look, I'll give the author some credit for the plot twist, but I also could see it happening quite a ways back. At least stuff is actually happening.

I may even continue the series now. Claire really grinds my gears, though, so I'll have to... Force myself. If I draw the series again from my TBR Jar, perhaps I'll continue.

I swear to God, Claire is not NOT good enough to join this damn tournament. She literally almost got choked out by a damn thief! And very easily at that.

Claire is still so stupid, and honestly Farron is the only one that has a brain half the time. He's by far my favorite, and can do way better than Claire. She's not interesting at all, and the plot only seems to move forward with her interactions with the others.

You know, there's a lot that already bothers me about this book, but what really gets me is the constant "A girl could", "a girl needs", "a girl" - this, "a girl"- that.

This is NOT helping me view Claire as anything older than 12.

And I'm noticing a pattern of, when Claire is angry with Farron (which is a lot) he's ALWAYS just referred to as "the elf". It's never "Farron turned away", it's "The elf turned away."

I just want to cry at this point.

Claire has made another empty resolution to better herself by being more ladylike, and less of a child; she's failed miserably thus far, and has actually regressed into acting like a petulant toddler.

I'm at the point where she's just had a panic attack, and then literally one page later is perfectly fine! Totally shaken off everything, as if it never even happened.

Do I just DNF?

"A battlefield of the finer sex." ????

Also, if she's a guest of the palace and being offered the royal dressing services, why tf did they just kick her out after finishing her hair?

"... nearly the whole ceiling and below it hung the *new* biggest chandelier she had ever seen." Gurl how tf do you know it's new??? Or is this a second and now *the* biggest she'd seen? Why are we focusing on this? Also, use commas.
