《Book reviews *Requests Closed*》'The Cursed Prince' by Tris_fire
Advertisement
The Cursed Prince is a scifi-fantasy novel about Nova, who is sent back in time to kill a creature called The Beast, a prince possessed by an evil spirit. Of course; this doesn't go smoothly and Nova ends up trapped in her mind, searching for a way out. With Nova out of the way, the Beast is free to go and mess with another kill: Medea, a girl living with her grandmother. She sees visions and possesses both fire magic and a fiery spirit. As the story unfolds, paths cross.
I was pleasantly surprised by the plot! The story is loosely based on certain fairy tales, such as Cinderella and that one tale of which I can't remember the name; The Little Match Girl? Whatever, it's just a name. All that matters is that that story always suckerpunches me in the gut, and that's also what the originality of this story does. It's very interesting!
The characters are well-written. I especially like the character of Alexander Le Vane, how he's both a very friendly guy and a Beast at the same time. He's intriguing, and I hope the story will explore him more; we don't see enough of him, in my opinion.
The GPS is decent. The story needs editing, definitely. I've encountered misspellings, punctuation errors and tense-switching. The story is good, but these issues undermine that. Fix it, is my advice. Oh, and go easy on the italics. They're a little overused.
Lastly, I also think the worldbuilding and the magic in this story stood out. Science-fiction and fantasy are always an interesting combination and it's always fun to see how the story combines science with magic. Keep that up!

The Nonpareil of Resh
Gwyn Black finds himself in an alien world unlike his own after a portal transports him to a planet on the edge of the cosmos. Strange denizens inhabit the world: a people that resemble a treasury of gemstones, a group who all have bony crowns adorning their heads, a tribe ruled by beastly giantesses, and an advanced nation of reptilian folk. The strange world, known as Resh, is full of advanced science and groundbreaking technology. Magic of the past has become rare and the practitioner’s taboo. Towering cities fill the skies, and impressive machines help terraform barren land. Armed with a mechanical creature that can graft to his arm to grant powers, Gwyn must navigate the world as conspiracies, and long-awaited plots begin to unfold and reveal themselves. Whether he will be consumed by a dark curse or embrace the path of a hero is something only time will tell. Notes:The release schedule is three chapters per week minimum. Occasionally “legends” or “excerpts” are released that are considered a bonus and skippable if desired. Typically chapter releases fall on Tuesday, Thursday, and Sunday, with the bonus chapters falling on days in between.
