Cursed

Schooled in Magic, Book 17

By: Christopher G. Nuttall

Narrated by: Tavia Gilbert

King Randor has been defeated. Queen Alassa has taken her throne. The Kingdom of Zangaria can look forward to a new age of peace and prosperity. But their victory came at a terrible price. A moment before his death, King Randor hit Emily with a powerful curse.

She's lost her magic. She's losing her mind. She may soon lose her life.

As rumors start to spread, as her enemies start to gather, Emily searches desperately for the key to unlock the curse before it is too late. But the only hope seems to rest with House Fellini, an enigmatic family of magicians. Crippled, powerless, helpless, Emily places her life in their hands. If they can't help her, no one can.

But House Fellini has its secrets. As the family struggles to undo the curse before it's too late, Emily is drawn into a decades-old mystery that threatens to destroy the family, shatter her life...and smash the entire world beyond all hope of repair.

Emily, You're only worth the is in magic. shame.

This one was very hard to get through. Emily was too easily broken and whiney throughout.

not my favorite but Nuttall is still great.

I admit I dislike Emily being powerless. but it leaves an impression for the others.

Whining

though I've enjoyed most of the books in this series. I felt I was listening to a whining child the entire book. I am looking forward to the next book in hopes it is as entertaining as previous books.

Good entry

The only complaints I have is that this story got a little dragged down and for my own reasons the disparity and depression and complaints about it got a little old. Emily is a very strong and capable lady but seems to forget this a lot. maybe strong women and men alike feel like her in her head I don't know, maybe hearing her thoughts makes me feel like she is less of a kick butt, and more of a petulant child. If I look inwardly I often am filled with doubt and regret so.... perhaps I am reflecting on my own failings. Save for that I have almost made a drinking game over how often she "sighs inwardly" I really wish the author would change up the speeding on occasion.... or perhaps it's just part of the character... that said I don't know if I have ever sighed in my mind, though I have groaned. anyway the books good and it was nice to see it was a problem not easily solved. I am looking forward to the next book and while I have it already I will wait for the audio release.

Perfectly engaging; excellent change of pace

I am pleased as can be with the turn of events in this book. We are away from war, with mighty problems to struggled through, but this book does a wonderful job of focusing on interpersonal relationships, very much building some new ones of great interest. I love how Emily gets involved with the House Fellini, the details of the mansion, the involvement of Freda and Caleb--well done! Every character from past books that made their way into this one--all were brought in by the author with very good reason, nothing gratuitous. One of the best installments in this excellent series.
