This book is EVERYTHING. Everything I wanted it to be, and everything it needed to be to give our favorite characters the endings they earned. ❤️

The romance is swoonier, the heartbreak a little deeper, and the fight for love and safety a little harder, and I can’t count the number of times I laughed and cried on the same page. 50000000 stars.

There is a bit more spicy content and language in this one (heads up for friends who are sensitive about such things) but we get ALL FOUR POVs, so it’s perfect. ❤️

Always and forever Team Rían and Aveen ❤️ (though of course we can’t forget Tadhg and Keelynn and WE NEED A RUAIRI BOOK.

10/10 recommend this series for romantasy lovers and also just everyone because it’s one of my favorites and this book is the perfect finale ❤️

Review for the audio version: ZURA JOHNSON AND ZACHARY JOHNSON NEED TO NARRATE MY LIFE just so I can listen to their voices forever. As it is, I’ll take whatever audiobooks they narrate because they are AMAZING. They were both PERFECT for this series. If you’re an audiobook lover and want to read this series, definitely get the audio versions. Trust me. 😍❤️ (but don’t skip the Prince books, they’re necessary, I promise, though not available on audio)

I received an advance copy, all opinions are my own, and a review was not required.

This was very beautifully written. So romantic, clear, and concise.
I did not read the previous book to this. I definitely had the feeling I was missing big events and yet everything was so well explained/recapped I was able to follow along and build the space in my mind well. It wasn't too forcefully over-described now too vague. It's my intro to fantasy romance, to be honest and it made me want to read more!
So romantic.
So interesting.
Rein gave angsty teenager vibes which is lol. Probably contrasted with the book before since he has this newly acquired heart.
Very well written , and well recited audiobook wise.

"Lie to me"
"I hate you"
As they makeout.

Feckin’ brilliant. 😭

This has got to be my ALL TIME FAVORITE Romantasy series. Hickman gives me everything I need. The banter, swooning, magic, romance, lovable flawed characters, beautiful fantasy world, plot twists, so much action, and brilliant writing!

So happy this last book had all 4 POVS. The only thing I’m missing is Ruairi’s. 🥺

Please read this series. The world needs these characters.

Also the audiobooks are the best I’ve ever heard with duet narration.

The material is great and I enjoyed the last book of the series! Jenny Hickman writes a beautiful last novel for out MC's from the other two books in this series! I liked the narrator's and enjoyed listening to them! They have very smooth soothing voices and seemed super animated with the content they were reading!!

This book was such an epic conclusion to this series! An absolutely fantastic read. It was a little frustrating having them constantly keeping information back or not asking for help and I wish they had grown more from that but overall it was great. And the narrators did an excellent job!

This series is INCREDIBLE! I love the characters, the storyline, the pace, the Irish methology.

This is the 5th book in this series and can't be read as a standalone, as this book is told from all 4 POVs Tadgh, Keelynn, Rían and Aveen. This book ties up a lot of loose ends. I don't want to go into a detailed review as it will spoil all the previous books and their cliffhangers (🤐 Jenny Hickman 🤣). What I will say is, there are still a few ups and downs, wrongs that needed to be right, yet the banter is still there and strong.

The only reason this book wasn't a 5star for me was because there is a trope in this book that is not my favourite. Other than that, it was perfection.

This audiobook was probably one of the best audiobooks I've listened to in a very long time! The narrators did an incredible job at not only reading the story but also getting the personalities and differences across not only for 4 characters but also the secondary supporting characters!

I would definitely recommend this book and the series.

Thank you to Jenny Hickman and also @netgalley for a copy of this book and also the audiobook.

Thank you NetGalley for providing me with an ARC for the Audio of A Cursed Love.
First, I would like to say that the Myths Of Airren Series is one of my all time favorites. It is bittersweet to see this fantastic series come to an end.
I really enjoyed the audiobook for A Cursed Love. It is dual narration as well as it covers multiple POVs in this final installation for the main characters Aveeen, Rian, Tadgh, and Keenan. And the narrators did a fabulous job of narrating for each character as well as other side characters as well.
The story overall was such a delight. Like I said, this is one of my all time favorite series. It has such a whimsical fairytale vibe while also delivering enough twists and turns to keep the plot moving forward and keep the reader engaged. I believe the pacing in this story was brilliant, and as always, Jenny Hickman delivers with on point witty banter.
I truly enjoyed watching all of these characters get up to their shenanigans and situations that naturally leads to hilarious outcomes and laugh out loud banter. I caught myself cackling quite a few times.
The Myths Of Aireen Series is definitely one that I will revisit again and again. I love the atmosphere, the setting, the characters, the story, and the banter is just chef's kiss.
Finally, A Cursed Kiss really did bring some very unexpected points in the story that surprised me in regards to certain characters.... IYKYK but overall, a brilliant and wonderful ending to this series.

I love this series so much, unfortunately this book kind of fell flat for me. I wanted to love this book but I feel like the plot was everywhere and the conflicts that arose were somewhat boring (higher stakes would have kept me more invested). Also the characters didn’t feel like themselves at times. I did like that the characters showed some of their usual humor and overall I think it was worth listening to, but I was hoping for more.

“It isn’t a matter of if the Princes of Tearmann will fall, but when.
Because the Queen is coming for them all…
And the cost of crossing her may finally be too high to pay.
A Cursed Love is the final book in the Myths of Airren series, following the events of A Cursed Kiss and A Cursed Heart, as told by Tadhg, Rían, Aveen, and Keelynn.” What a wild ride and an amazing ending to a great series. I did this one as an audio book and did not care for the narrators.

Do yourself a favor and read this book with a big slice of chocolate cake or cherry tarts. They might not be Eava's but it will help.

It was a beautiful perfect and hard won ending for the Myths of Airren series.

I felt all the emotions. The highs and lows. The swooning, the banter, the tears and the all the laughter. This book had so much feeling, and you just get caught up in the characters.

Jenny tucked Tadhg, Keelynn, Rían and Aveen nicely into their bed and gave them the best ending. I am so happy for them all. But their HEA had to be earned. And man, did they all earn it.

I loved having the 4 different POVs. Each one was so insightful. I love the the internal thoughts of Tadhg and Rían. Keelynn's character growth throughout this whole series is amazing. She has come so far and is so fierce. Aveen is such a little viper and I love her and her weeds so much. Tadhg, I love him so much and his grew a lot as well (don't want to give too much away). And Rían, you silly man. I love you and your favorite waistcoat and boots.

Gosh, just please read these books. They are amazing. The End.
(Please read Myths of Airren in publication order and and don't skip the Princes' books.)

Listening to Zura and Zachary bringing this book to life as a duet narration is the most amazing thing ever! Zura knocked it out of the park with her range of female voices. Zura conveyed the characters emotions so well that I got so emotional. I loved hearing Zachary reading the Princes' POV. Loved all accents and will be listening to this again and again! The banter between the brothers and their mates were amazing. Zura and Zachary make the perfect team! I highly highly recommend this audio and the narrators.
