I loved Volume 4 of Cursed Princess Club just as much as all the other volumes. This has become my favourite series, always making me smile, each volume is very enjoyable! I would highly recommend.

The Cursed Princess Club series has always been about self acceptance, and this volume does a tremendous job in following that theme. This volume really moved the plot along, while working on each of the characters and having them grow in amazing ways. We get so much from several of the characters, not just the main ones. The narrative really fleshes out several of the 'background' characters in this volume. We see more of the Cursed Princesses, Prince Whitney, and even more Laverne! She is the actual best! This book made me laugh, many times, but also it. was a joy to see the characters work on themselves, work through some heavy emotions, and still manage to be compelling and hopeful. I recommend this one, for sure. I think it's the strongest of the series, to date.

This volume focused on Frederick following Gwen to the Cursed Princess Club. I was really impressed with Frederick’s growth in this volume. He decided to ask Gwen to the gala in his own way, instead of following his brothers’ advice. He also was very understanding about the Cursed Princess Club, and he was excited to help Gwen with planning her dinner party. Whitney also found the Cursed Princess Club and apologized to Prez. This brought out a lot of emotions for Prez, and I’m interested to see how this impacts the story in future volumes. I really loved this volume, and I think it might be my favorite volume yet.

I absolutely adore the Cursed Princess Club - while I have the WebToon app, I didn't discover this series until earlier this year when my mom picked up the first volume at her library. She was so adamant that I would love it too that I ended up reading the first volume while visiting her, devouring it completely in one day. What I absolutely love about this series is that it reminds me of a DreamWorks cartoon - the drawings and general story will appeal to younger readers, but there are so many jokes and references that only adult readers will truly appreciate.

Cursed Princess Club starts by being a story about the royal family of the Pastel Kingdom - the overprotective, but extremely loving King and his four children: daughter's Maria, Lorena, and Gwendolyn and their extremely pretty brother Jamie (who often get's mistaken for his sister). While the family is extremely loving to each other, Gwendolyn doesn't exactly look like her siblings and it often elicits negative reactions from those around her. This is especially the case after the girls are betrothed to the princes from the Plaid Kingdom and Gwen's new fiancee has a less than stellar response to her.

Gwen ends up running into the forest after the Prince's initial rejection where she meets the Cursed Princess Club, a group of princesses (and one prince!) that have all been forced out of their respective kingdoms due to curses that were placed on them. This ranges from a princess with no eyes, to one with lobster claws for hands, and another that turns into a were-spider at that time of the month. While they assume at first Gwen must be cursed too, over time they realize she's not and this becomes a story about loving yourself for who you are.

I really love this series as a whole and Volume 4 was no different - I enjoyed the advancements in certain stories, specifically Calpernia's and Gwen/Frederick. This book makes me wish the CPC was a real group, as these girls know how to throw parties.

I really look forward to the next volume and am sad there's no publication date announced yet!

This is one of my all time favorite series- a comfort series that I know I'll come back to over and over. I adore the art style and color palette. The story is beautiful and tackles very "real" issues while maintaining a cozy vibe with well placed humor and comedic relief. I love that there's character development and history for even the side characters making this a fully immersive read.

There were some big developments in this volume and I'm already dying to get my hands on volume 5!!

I have been following Gwendolyn’s story since the very first Volume and was excited to return to the Pastel Kingdom. As every part of the story so far this is about self love and accepting ourselve. Gwendolyn has come so far in this with help from her friends at the CPC but you also see other characters learning to love themselves as well.

I absolutely love this series and think that it provides great reflection for books that are also cute and lighthearted.

I love this series. I love how the characters have developed over the four volumes, especially Gwen and Frederick. It goes against every stereotype of princesses that is so prevalent in fiction. I can't wait for the next volume, and highly recommend this series to people who like their princesses a little quirky.

Thanks for let me read.

Gwen's journey towards self love continues as she is asked to plan a dinner party to introduce the Cursed Princess Club to her father. When Frederick follows her to the club grounds, several pasts come to light - including what really happened to Prez.

I continually fall in love with this story every time I open the pages. There are so many little details that bring humor to the story. Love, Love, Love it!

I just love this series so so much! The artwork is giving nostalgic 90s sailor moon type vibes and it's just stunning. But pairing it with whip smart laugh out loud humor and characters that I just can't get enough of is just perfect. It also has so much heart at the core of the story. I think this may be my favorite webtoon ever ❤️

I have greatly enjoyed following this story on WEB Toons and am so happy that it has come to book format. I have a few copies in my middle school classroom and they are always being borrowed by students. I find all types of students enjoy it and appreciate that different personalities, orientations, and inner struggles are show through the characters and able to connect to various different children. In Volume Four, we continue to see Gwen struggle with her perception of herself and the ugliness she sees, where others can see her beauty. I love how supportive her family and the Cursed Princess Club (CPC) are for her and was happy to see lots of characters finally collide in this book. Fredrick runs into the CPC and progress moves forward with him and Gwen, and we get a new cursed character from Calpernia's past who promises to bring a lot of excitement in the next volume!

I know I could just read this on Webtoon but I do really enjoy having a physical copy of this one. I really love Cursed Princess Club a lot. It’s such a great story and I love all of the characters and the artwork is amazing! I definitely can’t wait to get my hands on this (I already have it preordered!) and to read more from the Cursed Princess world. I highly recommend this graphic novel! Thanks to Netgalley and the Publisher for a copy of the arc in return for an honest review!

This series is so cute. It's about a club for cursed princesses. We get to follow and see their unique stories of how the girls learn to love themselves and live with their curses. This is such a cute spin on princesses with curses.

Honestly I have such a profound love for this graphic novel series. I have never had a series make me laugh out loud so much. The characters are just all amazing, the writing is fantastic and the art is really just the cherry on top. I will preach about this series for as long as I live tbh. I love the message behind this story as well. It's really just such a good comforting and loveable story.

There were literal screams of joy from my 5th grade daughter when I showed her that I had early access to the 4th book in the Cursed Princess Club series. My daughter loves the manga style of books, but it has been a huge challenge finding appropriate texts in this genre for her age. She is a super high reader, and I’m constantly on the hunt for challenge texts that fit her age. The Cursed Princess Club is one of her favorite series.

10/10 I love our cursed princesses and everything they do. This was probably the least invested I've been in a story so far but even with that it's still 5 stars! Even the worst Cursed Princess Club is better than most comics best issues.

Another great volume of The Cursed Princess club. I love the lessons in forgiving yourself, letting yourself grieve, and self-love. This volume answered some questions but also brought out new ones.
