“Ideal for fans of Jennifer Donnelly’s Stepsister.” —Booklist Damsel meets A Heart in a Body in the World in this incisive and lyrical feminist fairy tale about a princess determined to save her sisters from a curse, even if it means allying herself with the very witch who cast it.The Princesses of Ever are beloved by the kingdom and their father, the King. They are cherished, admired. Cursed. Jane, Alice, Nora, Grace, and Eden carry the burden of being punished for a crime they did not commit, or even know about. They are each cursed to be Without one essential thing—the ability to eat, sleep, love, remember, or hope. And their mother, the Queen, is imprisoned, frozen in time in an unbreakable glass box. But when Eden’s curse sets in on her thirteenth birthday, the princesses are given the opportunity to break the curse, preventing it from becoming a True Spell and dooming the princesses for life. To do this, they must confront the one who cast the spell—Reagan, a young witch who might not be the villain they thought—as well as the wickedness plaguing their own kingdom…and family. Told through the eyes of Reagan and Jane—the witch and the bewitched—this insightful twist of a fairy tale explores power in a patriarchal kingdom not unlike our own.

"If you don’t like a book that jumps around, this one is not for you. But if you like a book that keeps you on your toes and makes you imagine, this one is for you. "

"Good twist on a classic fairytale flow"

"This book was alright, but not a hands down favorite. I liked the idea for the plot, a teenage witch curses a royal family and it needs to be undone. There are references to sexual assault and anorexia. Just a warning to readers. I would've liked to see more depth to the characters. They seemed very surface level and immature for their age. Overall, still a good read and doesn't require a lot of effort. "
