One of my new year’s goals is to finish some book series that I left unfinished last year–starting with book three of the Once Upon a Broken Heart series by Stephanie Garber, titled A Curse for True Love. This series has complex worldbuilding, a mystifying magic system, and a history of cursed legends.
