Once Upon A Broken Heart: Hodderscape Vault

Product Information

the appearance of scarlett and donatella in this book was so nice to see. i’m so glad that we were able to get a glimpse of them and where they are despite the story revolving around different characters. it’s clear that scarlett takes on her role as empress very seriously. tella had this habit of saying her thoughts in this book which makes me glad the story isn’t told in her point of view. i don’t think i’d be able to handle it again. Those steamy scenes really did make up for them because oh hollyyyyy nighhhhttttt- I was drenched in sweat.

It was mouthwatering, and honestly... boo, teach me how to write like that, because hot dang! I need some of that 'SPWICE'. Thank you, Stephanie, for breaking my heart since the beginning because I couldn't handle it after I realized about it... I just lost my shit. Completely.Imo the second half of the book is far stronger. The ending was quite good, am looking forward to starting the next book immediately. I don’t think you and I have the same definition of hurt.” “Be thankful for that, Little Fox … hurt is what made me.” eva was an amazing fmc. i resonated with her so much and i absolutely love her. she gives off this energy where she sees the best in people. although she can be easily deceived by this, & it can get maddening at times to read abt it. i loved her determination and hope after everything she’s been through and the way she never lost herself. it also felt as though seeing things through eva’s pov also cushioned the betrayal of the characters. she trusted in marisol too much despite everyone’s warning and it wasnt a hard blow knowing marisol’s character was as everyone warned her of. Update, March 11: I'm so excited to share that Once Upon A Broken Heart has a US cover! It was revealed today Frolic, along with an interview and a sneak peek of the prologue. Here's a link: I've always loved fairytales and fantasy books with fairytale elements. Once Upon a Broken Heart gives readers exactly that but adds in an exploration of love with a melancholy tone. It shows the often desperate actions of those who have been hurt, and the lengths that a person will go to heal their broken heart.

Going into this book I didn’t know it was connected to the Caraval Serie. I read the first book (Caraval) but not Legend or Finale. I realized they were connected from some names and the world building.Apollo in the begging crept me out. Even when he was introduced (so before all the events of the main plot) he was a creep. What was about all the portraits? I know you are a Prince but😂 eva my precious. this girl has a heart of gold. she always just wants to believe the best in everybody and she’s sometimes always a bit too trusting. it felt a bit frustrating at times but it was also understandable. she really had the best intentions and wanted so badly for all the fairytales she believed in to be true. it was honestly so adorable okay?? For me, going into this book, was a magical adventure.✨ I knew Stephanie could write a story, but here she wrote a fairytale, a stunning and breathtaking book. The Fates weren't dangerous because they were evil; the Fates were dangerous because they couldn't tell the difference between evil and good.”

People called it falling out of love, but falling was easy. She’d clawed her way out, fighting to shake it off, to let it go, to find something else to hold on to.” i want you, evangeline fox. i want to write ballads for you on the walls of wolf hall and carve your name on my heart with swords. i want you to be my wife and my princess and my queen." i believe there are far more possibilities than happily ever after or tragedy. every story has the potential for infinite endings.' I loved the writing so much. Despite of not liking Caraval as much as I would've loved to, I did like the writing because somehow it felt magical. I really loved the soft descriptions of places, feelings, colors, etc.

The plot was intriguing, there were heaps and heaps of drama and the characters were certainly likable. Most importantly, the FMC although kinda dumb was far more tolerable than Scarlett and Tella. I'm totally in love, and I have I idea what to do with my life. HOW CAN I PRETEND MY HEART ISN'T BREAKING IN REAL TIME? The first book in a new series about love, curses, and the lengths that people will go to for happily ever after. this book made me remember that my answer to the age old question, “if you could live in any fictional world, which one would it be?” is the world of caraval.
