Summary

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER！

ONCE UPON A BROKEN HEART marks the launch of a new series from Stephanie Garber about love， curses， and the lengths that people will go to for happily ever after

For as long as she can remember， Evangeline Fox has believed in true love and happy endings 。 。 。 until she learns that the love of her life will marry another。

Desperate to stop the wedding and to heal her wounded heart， Evangeline strikes a deal with the charismatic， but wicked， Prince of Hearts。 In exchange for his help， he asks for three kisses， to be given at the time and place of his choosing。

But after Evangeline’s first promised kiss， she learns that bargaining with an immortal is a dangerous game — and that the Prince of Hearts wants far more from her than she’d pledged。 He has plans for Evangeline， plans that will either end in the greatest happily ever after， or the most exquisite tragedy。

Bella Onofrio ，

I really really enjoyed this。 It truly was so much better than the Caraval series， and I already liked Caraval。 I was able to follow the plot a lot better and had fun reading about Jacks since I had questions about him at the end of Finale。 However， there are a lot of unanswered questions in this book and I felt like it sorta ends pretty abruptly。 However， that’s making me really excited for the sequel！

Let me start by saying that I complained for the first solid 100 pages of this book about how slow-paced this was。 Like hello？？？ We are this far and the love interests talked ONCE？？ No mysteries？？ Excuse me？？ That was about the point I found out that I should've educated myself a little because then I would've known that this was the first part of a triology。。。 so yeah 😃  Also this is a SPIN-OFF series to the Caraval series？？ How did I not know this？ Anyway now the actual review。 I really enjoye Let me start by saying that I complained for the first solid 100 pages of this book about how slow-paced this was。 Like hello？？？ We are this far and the love interests talked ONCE？？ No mysteries？？ Excuse me？？ That was about the point I found out that I should've educated myself a little because then I would've known that this was the first part of a triology。。。 so yeah 😃  Also this is a SPIN-OFF series to the Caraval series？？ How did I not know this？ Anyway now the actual review。 I really enjoyed this。 It was like a fun little crossover between the Ella Enchanted movie and Gossip Girl。 I haven't read an actual fantasy book in a looooong time and this was really good to get back into it。 The world building was really cool， the whole fairytale world。 Also I thought Evangeline was such a great protagonist。 She is brave and smart and really positive but not in an annoying， naive way which I really liked。 There were some beautiful quotes in here about fate and love， just 10/10。 Also the maps and letters inside the book？？ Ugh amazing。 That's the shit you get me with fr。 Still， I feel like the book was a liiittle slow-paced in the beginning but that's forgiveable， since the pacing really took off after that。I can't wait to find out how it goes on， especially after that ending。 I also wanna know so bad what it is about that tale "The Archer and the Fox" which is one of the most interesting aspects of the story， in my personal opinion。 4，25/ 5 🌟  。。。more

Very much kept my interest。 The FMC is a little immature/naive for me which took me out of the story a bit but I still enjoyed the story。 Will be finishing the series and also want to dive into Caravel。

all i gotta say is…。i would risk everything on my life for jacks to kiss me。 kill me 🤩

At the beginning of this book I was sure that it was going to be a 5 ⭐️ read， but as it went on… Oh my god as it went on it just kept making me mad and mad and so mad。 Honestly， I have never in my life read a book with a protagonist as dumb and gullible as this one is。 I was tempted to drop it because of her。 But the writing is nice and the story has potential so I gave it 3 ⭐️， although the characters lack depth。

Ceri Lynch ，

Are you kidding me！！！！ You left me on a cliff hanger and I don’t have the next book yet 😭Who knew a book with a very cutesy pink colour would be this good。 This confirms that Fantasy romance is definitely my kink。 Magic， fates， vampires， what’s not to love？？ If you’re expecting spice， you won’t find it here， not yet anyway。 The north sounds super magical and the second book better have some answers。

I loved this book！ I’m annoyed with myself for not picking this up way sooner because it was amazing。 The writing style was simple and effective， and it fit really well with the world， the plot， and the characters。 I was fully immersed in the magical worlds and I didn’t want to put the book down。 Evangeline was a fantastic character。 I thought she aas strong， brave， and flawed。 I really connected with her character in a lot of ways， and I was behind her 110%。 Jacks was amazing。 I always liked hi I loved this book！ I’m annoyed with myself for not picking this up way sooner because it was amazing。 The writing style was simple and effective， and it fit really well with the world， the plot， and the characters。 I was fully immersed in the magical worlds and I didn’t want to put the book down。 Evangeline was a fantastic character。 I thought she aas strong， brave， and flawed。 I really connected with her character in a lot of ways， and I was behind her 110%。 Jacks was amazing。 I always liked him in the Caraval series， and I loved him in this one。 He was charming and mysterious， and I loved the connection between him and Evangeline。 They had fantastic tension and chemistry throughout the story。 The plot moved at a good pace， and I was never bored while reading。 I was intrigued by the mystery elements， and I loved the magic！ The setting of the North with all its casual magical and fairytale like elements was amazing。 。。。more

The BEST thing about this book is the descriptions！ I LOVE how dresses， gowns， smells， rooms， anything is described！ It's so unique， and that alone made me want to keep reading。This first book I think was written really well， world building is beautiful， character development isn't bad， storyline is very interesting。The additional characters are intriguing as well。I've heard that the Caraval Series is in the same universe as Once Upon A Broken Heart， and it's "best" to read Caraval before OUABH。 The BEST thing about this book is the descriptions！ I LOVE how dresses， gowns， smells， rooms， anything is described！ It's so unique， and that alone made me want to keep reading。This first book I think was written really well， world building is beautiful， character development isn't bad， storyline is very interesting。The additional characters are intriguing as well。I've heard that the Caraval Series is in the same universe as Once Upon A Broken Heart， and it's "best" to read Caraval before OUABH。 Oops， didn't do that。 I think it's fine without reading Caraval before， but I know there's something in the back of my mind that says I'm missing information 😅Onto the second book， The Ballad of Never After！ 。。。more

NOW THIS IS WHAT I’M TALKING ABOUT！This spin-off to the original Caraval trilogy is everything I wanted the trilogy to be and MORE！ I adored Jacks in Legendary and Finale。 In fact， he was one of the few things I did like。 I continued loving him throughout this book。 He is sassy， mysterious， broken， and SEXYYYYYY。 Ugh， I love that man。 I found myself pleasantly surprised by Evangeline， who was wonderful grey。 She is spunky， desperate for love and second chances like the rest of us， and a very “re NOW THIS IS WHAT I’M TALKING ABOUT！This spin-off to the original Caraval trilogy is everything I wanted the trilogy to be and MORE！ I adored Jacks in Legendary and Finale。 In fact， he was one of the few things I did like。 I continued loving him throughout this book。 He is sassy， mysterious， broken， and SEXYYYYYY。 Ugh， I love that man。 I found myself pleasantly surprised by Evangeline， who was wonderful grey。 She is spunky， desperate for love and second chances like the rest of us， and a very “real” character。 She makes mistakes， stumbles， and claws her way back。 I was on her side rooting for her every step of the way。The new additions to the lineup are great side characters with far more depth than any of the main charters in the original trilogy。 Stephanie truly outdid herself with this cast！The two of them pair nicely together as we jump into a new mystery and a fun adventure。 The magic continues to excite， and the romance is the slow burn of the century！ I ate every bit of this up and am BEGGING for more。Can’t wait to read the next！ 。。。more

this was too good

Me pareció que la historia se dio demasiado rápido。 Ni bien se entraba en un nudo， no pasaba ni un capítulo que se resolvía。 Eso no me gustó para nada， sentí que había partes del libro que se deberían haber tomado su tiempo， como por ejemplo cuando Apollo se enamora。 Me quedé con gusto a poco por ese lado porque no te dejaba procesar nada， te arrancaba de esa trama de una y te metía en un problema distinto que al toque se resolvía。 🥵Evangeline me tuvo en una encrucijada。 Por un lado me pareció b Me pareció que la historia se dio demasiado rápido。 Ni bien se entraba en un nudo， no pasaba ni un capítulo que se resolvía。 Eso no me gustó para nada， sentí que había partes del libro que se deberían haber tomado su tiempo， como por ejemplo cuando Apollo se enamora。 Me quedé con gusto a poco por ese lado porque no te dejaba procesar nada， te arrancaba de esa trama de una y te metía en un problema distinto que al toque se resolvía。 🥵Evangeline me tuvo en una encrucijada。 Por un lado me pareció bastante insensata en algunas cuestiones， se dejaba llevar mucho por su corazón/compasión y tomaba decisiones estúpidas。 Pero por otro lado había algunas de esas decisiones que sí me gustaban。 🧐Sinceramente， no quise comparar la historia con Caraval pero no pude evitarlo。 Se queda muy chica frente al monstruo que es Caraval， más que nada por su apuro en desarrollar el final de la historia y en abarcar tantos temas que es difícil detallar cada uno。 Le doy 3⭐️ más que nada por el final que me gustó mucho， pero si no hubiera sido por ese final， la historia era insalubre。PD: Me gustó mucho que aparezcan Scarlet y Donatella ❤️。 。。。more

This was fun and cute， but I had a hard time staying invested in it。 I’m not feeling compelled enough to continue the series。

It was very good， but it's also just a build-up for the next book in the series。 Nothing's really resolved。 It was very good， but it's also just a build-up for the next book in the series。 Nothing's really resolved。 。。。more

Mmmm。 I dunno about this one。 I was led to believe this was a （mildly） romantic fairytale but it was more like。。 no romance and a lot of bad things？ There was some flirting， lots of magic and creatures/characters you’d expect to see in a fairytale story， but it was just one bad thing after another for Evangeline。。 and Jacks was a bit of an ass？ Nothing fairytale about it to be honest。 I found both Evangeline and Jacks difficult to like at the beginning， however I did come to like them and felt m Mmmm。 I dunno about this one。 I was led to believe this was a （mildly） romantic fairytale but it was more like。。 no romance and a lot of bad things？ There was some flirting， lots of magic and creatures/characters you’d expect to see in a fairytale story， but it was just one bad thing after another for Evangeline。。 and Jacks was a bit of an ass？ Nothing fairytale about it to be honest。 I found both Evangeline and Jacks difficult to like at the beginning， however I did come to like them and felt myself rooting for them。 The curiosity shop and Evangeline’s love for her Father was super cute and one of my favourite things about her。 Chaos。。 what’s going on with his helmet and do we have to？ Marisol and Agnes are butt eaters。 This book was very good at spoiling itself， which was a bit disappointing。 I can’t tell if readers were expected to pick up on hints or if they were supposed to be hidden？ Anyway， I still enjoyed it， frustrations aside。 Hopefully book two gives me more of what I expected。 Also， I did skip the Caraval Trilogy。 Or at least， the last two books。 I just couldn’t do it， the first book was struggle city and then trying to read book two was like banging my head on a brick wall。 So no， you don’t need to read Caraval first， if you were wondering， but there are spoilers in OUABH。 。。。more

I really love this book and I really love Jacks I missed him so much but in one particular scene Evangeline was acting really dumb and it made me wanna hit my head to the wall

If there is another fate named delusional out there， that would be Evangeline。 And btw Jack， I love you ！

This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers。 To view it， click here。 this is not a review。 this is a short summary of the ending for when i decided to pick up the second book- tiberius admits to killing apollo - apollo still alive apparently ？！？！ but i guess kind of more brain dead but alive - evangeline uses her brain as to why this happened- JACKS！！- it is not yet confirmed but evangeline suspects that jacks poisoned apollo so that evangeline would go to him and ask him to undo the spells and in return jacks would want her blood to open the Valory ArchThe End。
