BOOK REVIEW

Cursed Children of Naor

Justyna Plichta-Jendzio

10/10Written Jun 7, 2014Edited Jun 7, 2014

In Naor, the Gods do not fight each other directly, but instead leave their children to battle: Both the Cursed Children as well as those who fight for the light.

Cursed Children of Naor is actually the third book that Justyna Plichta-Jendzio has written in this universe, but you do not have to read the earlier books to enjoy this one. In fact, this one is broken up into three stories to show you three different stories, linked together by the themes of betrayal by those close to you and the treachery of the Cursed.

However, this book also drives home the important lesson that you can't judge someone by their family or their outside visage: A man who comes from a family with a curse may work to end the curse by any means necessary instead of giving in to the power at the same time that a noble family may be hiding a secret that is destroying those and those around them. Finally, you learn that love comes in many shapes.

While I was given a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review, I will be purchasing the other books by this author. I am very impressed with how she handles subjects such as good, evil, betrayal and love, and will be reading the first two novels set in Naor as well to see if they're as good as this one.
