A Curse So Dark and Lonely is my first book by Brigid Kemmerer and it was a positively beautiful and amazing read. I pretty much love any kind of Beauty and the Beast retelling and Brigid's is bound to be a favorite for a long time! It uniquely combines fantasy world with our modern real world and I just love that kind of combination.Rhen is cursed. Every winter he turned into a beast, so every fall he sends his guard, Grey, out to bring a girl from our world back with him so he can try to have her fall in love with him and break the curse. He's failed every time the last 300+ years. The enchantress who cursed him, aptly named Lilith, tells him that this will be the last time for the curse. He must either succeed to break the curse or he will remain a beast for all time. ;)Harper is from our modern world and has had a rough go of things lately. Her mother has cancer and is dying, her dad is MIA, which leaves her and her brother, Jake, to try to get to by. Jake has to work for "bad people" in order to pay their father's debts to them. It's when Harper is on lookout for Jake on such job that she witnesses what she thinks is a kidnapping. While trying to stop it she inadvertently brings herself to the fantasy world when Grey decides to take her instead. And so begins our tale as old time.Harper is not too pleased to be in this other world and Rhen isn't too pleased as Harper isn't what he expected. Things are just complicated. But as you can expect, things slowly change over time. Harper shakes up Rhen's life. Her escape attempts end up leading to helping people. Rhen has been slacking in that area for years because of the curse. While it's been 300+ years for him, for his people it's been more like five. Time moves different within the curse. It gets explained rather well early on, so don't worry about any confusion. I had none of that while reading.Soon Harper is helping Rhen to better his kingdom, in trying to do more for the people he's forgotten. In doing so they uncover quite the nefarious plot as a neighboring ruler has their own plans for Rhen's kingdom. But that's not their only problem, Lilith visits frequently. She, as well, clearly has her own plans for Rhen, ones that were centuries in the making.All the while Rhen was subtly trying to get Harper to fall in love with in and break his curse. Though she clearly was having none of it. At first, naturally. Though we all know Beauty and the Beast to be a great love story, this one didn't put such emphasis on romance. It was still there, but I liked seeing it evolve over time. Much like our favorite Disney movie, though obviously it's a longer draw out then the 90 minute movie!I liked that Harper wasn't your perfect heroine either. It's not often that you have a fantasy heroine with any sort of medical issues. I don't know much about cerebral palsy, but I could relate to some of Harper's struggles, as I have an entirely different condition that prevented me from some of the things that she struggled with too.I liked how this one did well to follow the original fairy tale and yet still shine on its own. It was more like Brigid chose to use similar aspects to the story rather than make it a slightly twisted retelling. Like using two different worlds that are parallel. At one point Harper is allowed to return home to see her family, though, unlike Beauty, she longs to return to Rhen, for she is perhaps falling in love with him and wants to help him break his curse.The pacing to this was very ideal. It's a story that isn't really fast paced to begin with, but I felt like Brigid did exceedingly well to keep the story moving. I never felt like things were dragging. although I will admit to getting a little confused with some of the history of Lilith. She had a bit of backstory, but I'll admit I couldn't quite follow it. Though, I was traveling at the time and can easily blame that as the cause.The ending was pretty perfect. Coupled with an epic battle with shocking conclusions, it ended in a way that was just right. I do believe this is a series of some sort. That's all I really know at this point. While we aren't left with any dire cliffhangers, thank goodness, we are left with a pretty revealing revelation. And of course the ever present, what will our characters do next? Because there simply must be a next of some kind.A Curse So Dark and Lonely was my first Brigid Kemmerer book but it certainly won't be my last. It was a magical story that I whole-heartedly loved, even if Harper wasn't a bookworm, tragically. It had all the right elements of a Beauty and the Beast tale and of course the twist and turns of a retelling with an added bit of magic truly made this book a unique and enjoyable pleasure!Overall Rating 5/5 stars
4.5*This is a retelling of beauty and the beast but takes place in the parallel world of Emberfall. Emberfall is a fantastical world with enchantresses and because this book is classified as a contemporary fantasy, finds more grounding in facts and concrete information than your regular fantasy book. This felt very realistic, and the character Harper felt very well fleshed out with realistic concerns. Referencing Harper's thought process she mentions the possibility her feelings and romantic notions are simply due to Stockholm syndrome, which we never see referenced in Beauty and the Beast retellings, but it is something that is always lerking in the back of the mind with a story like this.Also our leading lady Harper is no normal Belle, as she is more fascinated with Horses than with books and also she walks with a limp because of her Cerebral palsy. The cerebral palsy added yet another layer of realism, and made her flawed and imperfect enough to jump out of the page, not to mention the CP representation was very refreshing because you don't see a ton of representation in literature for this condition.Rhen was our Prince of Emberfall and he came off as cold and selfish at the beginning of this book (just like a traditional beast should), but he was also remorseful and able to be hurt. I like that he didnt seem all powerful and his self doubt made him seem more like a man than a beast.I did feel like something was missing, and I'm struggling to put my finger on it. Like an ingredient you didnt know you needed until it was added in. Maybe it was because I wanted just a tad bit more romance, and slightly less realism? Maybe it's that I felt a bit less chemistry in the dialogue between Rhen and Harper than I would have liked? Maybe it's that I am used to a Belle type character that loves books? Whatever the specific reason, this was still an enjoyable read and I loved all the little creative twists and turns that were thrown in that made this a truly original retelling.Overall this book was a really enjoyable and left on a cliffhanger, so I will be waitting with enthusiasm for the next book in what I expect to be a duology.
