Everything you’d want in a retelling of a classic fairy-tale: a finely drawn fantasy world, a heroine rarely seen in fiction, and a tortured hero with a secret.

Maas will be eager for this one * Booklist on A CURSE SO DARK AND LONELY * A wonderful sequel, Emberfall and Syhl Shallow is a believable world, that captures and draws you in. * Children's Book Sequels * an amazing re-telling of Beauty and the Beast […] superbly written book * Reading Zone * I really enjoyed this book. I had read the first in the series, and this was what a sequel should be. It was about character development and it answered questions that were left unanswered in the first book. This book was filled with so much detail that it felt like I was there with the characters. Usually things end happily ever after, but A Heart So Fierce and Broken introduced a new problem that wasn’t predictable but was also enjoyable. * Teen Titles *
