Once upon a curse, there was a young princess named Aurora. She lived in a grand castle with her parents, the king, and queen. Aurora was known for her kindness and beauty, and she adored spending time in the castle gardens, surrounded by vibrant flowers and singing birds. One fateful day, as Aurora was exploring the gardens, an evil sorceress named Maleficent appeared before her. Maleficent was furious with the king and queen for not inviting her to Aurora's christening, so she placed a terrible curse on the princess. On her sixteenth birthday, Aurora would prick her finger on a spinning wheel spindle and fall into an eternal sleep, from which she could only be awakened by true love's kiss.
After Regina undoes the first curse, everyone in Storybrooke is sent back to the Enchanted Forest. The undoing of the curse breaks the connection between the worlds, divided them, and places a wall between them. Therefore, portals are no longer accessible and travelling between worlds using either magic beans or the hat is not possible. ("A Curious Thing")
His son, Baelfire, does not want his father to become so power hungry, and with the help of the Blue Fairy, he receives a magic bean to travel to a land without magic. A part of the Enchanted Forest remained untouched after the Dark Curse and froze for twenty-eight years; this is caused by Cora s protective shielding spell.
On her sixteenth birthday, Aurora would prick her finger on a spinning wheel spindle and fall into an eternal sleep, from which she could only be awakened by true love's kiss. Overwhelmed by grief and fear, the king and queen ordered that all the spinning wheels in the kingdom be destroyed to protect their beloved daughter. However, they couldn't prevent the curse from coming true.

Years went by, and Aurora grew into a beautiful young woman, ignorant of the curse that awaited her. On her sixteenth birthday, she was drawn to a hidden room in the castle, where a spinning wheel stood untouched. Curiosity getting the best of her, she reached out and pricked her finger on the spindle, instantly falling into a deep sleep. As the princess slumbered, a protective enchantment fell over the castle, causing it to be covered in thick vines and thorns. Legends of the sleeping princess spread across the land, attracting daring adventurers who tried to free her. However, none of them succeeded in breaking through the thorny barrier. Many years passed, and the sight of the castle became a mere fairy tale, until one day, a handsome prince named Philip heard about the mysterious sleeping beauty hidden within. Determined to save her, he set off on a treacherous journey to reach the castle. Philip battled through tangled vines and fought off fierce creatures until he finally reached Aurora's resting place. Touched by her beauty, he leaned in and gave her a tender kiss. In that moment, true love's power broke the curse, and Aurora awakened from her slumber. With the kingdom rejoicing, Aurora and Philip returned to the castle, where they were married and lived happily ever after. The curse had been broken, and the young princess could finally embrace a life free from Maleficent's grip. Once upon a curse, a tale of love and bravery unfolded, proving that even the darkest enchantments cannot withstand the power of true love. And in that kingdom, Aurora's story of triumph over evil was passed down for generations, reminding everyone that, in the face of adversity, love will always prevail..

I found "Once upon a Curse" to be quite disappointing. The plot was confusing and convoluted, making it difficult to follow along with the story. Additionally, the characters felt underdeveloped and lacked depth, making it hard to care about their fates. The writing style was also lackluster, lacking the necessary descriptive details and falling flat in terms of engaging the reader. Overall, I was left feeling unsatisfied and uninterested in the outcome of the story.
2. Robert - 1 star
I really did not enjoy "Once upon a Curse". The storyline felt like a rehash of every other fairy tale retelling out there, and there were no unique elements to differentiate it from the rest. The pacing was excruciatingly slow, and it took forever for anything of interest to happen. The dialogue was also incredibly cheesy and unrealistic, making it hard to take the characters seriously. I struggled to finish this book and would not recommend it to anyone looking for a fresh and engaging read.
3. Michelle - 2 stars
"Once upon a Curse" did not live up to my expectations. The writing was mediocre and lacked finesse, making it difficult to fully immerse myself in the story. The characters felt one-dimensional and the romance was predictable and cliché. Moreover, the twists and turns in the plot were predictable and lacked any real surprise or excitement. Overall, I found this book to be forgettable and wouldn't recommend it to others in search of a captivating and well-written fairy tale retelling.
