Ep 49 - Full Book Review: The Cursed by Harper L. Woods

Hey book friends — today we’re diving into The Cursed by Harper L. Woods, a dark and emotional fantasy sequel that wastes zero time picking up where book one left off. In this full plot recap and review, we talk through Willow’s messy, complicated journey — her struggles with boundaries, consent, trauma, and the morally gray choices that shape her character.

We’re also unpacking the heavy Maiden-Mother-Crone trope, the boost in spice level, the vague-but-vivid writing style, and the parts of the story that made us pause, cringe, cheer, or yell out loud. And of course, we chat about future books in the series, how they might shift perspectives, and what it feels like to stay engaged as a reader in an online book community that moves fast.

If you’re looking for an honest, cozy, slightly chaotic fantasy book review of The Cursed — complete with character analysis, themes, and a full plot rundown — grab a drink and settle in with us.
