Oh my goodness, this was adorable. I love the idea of the "rejected" princess being at center stage of her own story. I think Gwen is my new favourite princess.

A twist on the fairy tale trope of the ugly sister, Cursed Princess Club follows our "cursed" princess through her adventures in love, misunderstandings, and finding herself. Her appearance sweet and caring personality, and she finds herself enrolling in a club for other princesses who have had curses placed upon them.

This cute story could entertain any age range, from under 10 to adults, with jokes included that would land for either age. The art feels very 'webcomic', which shouldn't be shocking because it was in fact a webcomic first.
Definitely worth a read if you like fantasy, or need a light read and some chuckles.

Thanks to netgalley for the arc.

I can definitely see how this series is so popular and I do think there's something really good here. This just doesn't really mesh with my own personal humor. The art is fun and the story doesn't take itself too seriously. It's irreverent tone helps and the pacing is fine. The girl with no eyeballs freaks me out on a fundamental level. So, this one just wasn't the right book for me. I would recommend it, however.

I loved this and the art was perfect. I think once my little cousin and niece get older they would love this. I also loved the message this gave the young people. I can't wait to read more about the Cursed Princess Club.

Cursed Princess Club is a masterpiece. As a reader on Webtoon, I have been following this series for a long time, and I am very excited that it is getting published in hard copies. It is hilarious and always brightens up my day. If you like comedies or anything silly you’ll like this series.

This manga is very cute. I love the concept of a bunch of cursed princesses hanging out. Going in a thought the cursed princess would be treated differently by her family but I was pleasently surprised when she was treated exactly the same. I will definitly need to pick up the next one.

Cursed Princess Club Volume One by is a delightful book that belongs on every library shelf! I felt so lucky to get a copy for myself! I have shared on my goodreads, bookstagram, and booktok!

This book had fun illustrations and a nice message about friendship and self acceptance! It wasn't exactly my style, but I'll still be able to recommend it to teens or anyone who comes to my library asking for something similar!

So I was actually really surprised on how much I enjoyed this and ended up wanting to read more. It is in color too!

We meet our mc (Gwen) who is loved by her family. Her sisters are what you would imagine a princess would be for looks, as well as her brother; where Gwen is not a typical princess although she is so sweet. The Pastel princesses are to meet the princes of Plaid Kingdom in hopes to be engaged to them.

Delightful and fun, with great artwork! This graphic novel succeeded in pulling me right in and I loved it! I can't wait for further installments!!!

Cursed Princess Club Volume One by LambCat was a stupendous surprise. It's a comic book published from Webtoon originally and I thought I would probably like it, but it was so much funnier than I could have predicted. It follows a certain royal family of a small kingdom: a king, his three daughters, and his son, although the youngest princess, unbeknownst to her or her family, seems to have an unusual appearance compared to her sisters. This volume follows the trials and tribulations of trying to form an arranged marriage with the three sons of the neighboring kingdom.

This comic was honestly pretty hysterical. The comedic timing along with the occasional dramatic artwork really made the experience feel like I was watching a show play out instead of only reading about it; it really pulls you in. Of course, I also happen to be a big lover of fairy tales and the like, so this was incredibly up my alley. Solid recommendation for anyone who has similar tastes in comedy, fairy tales, and/or comics.

The Cursed Princess Club is such a wholesome story idea. The fact that Gwen's family views her as genuinely beautiful since she has such a beautiful heart is such a sweet aspect to me. The overall storyline is so valuable for younger readers since it shows how loved ones perception of you compared to how you view your own appearance can be so different. This is a journey that I can't wait to see play out in full. It is so hard not to root for all of the characters in this story since they all have so much potential! I definitely recommend anyone looking for a light hearted read about self-love to look into this series.

Gwendolyn is a princess and has two sisters and a brother and a loving father who never lets them leave the castle or the kingdom. The king wants to set up arranged marriages for his three daughters with a nearby kingdom for political reasons. He goes through the castle waking up his children, each who have a quirky personality, to tell them he has an announcement. When they all come down to hear about their arranged marriages and shown the prince's portraits they are excited. But, when the prince's arrive they aren't quite as excited as they are. The prince that is arranged to marry Gwendolyn, who is green skinned and not traditionally pretty, is upset because he thought she was her brother, who is quite feminine looking. Gwendolyn overhears him telling his brothers that she's ugly and she runs into the woods and stumbles across a home that houses the "Cursed Princess Club" where the princesses inside, who are cursed, assume Gwendolyn is cursed as well due to her appearance. Gwendolyn never had an issue with her appearance until the prince mentioned it.

This graphic novel was a fun story and teaches some lessons about self love. The art is a little goofy and inconsistent in some places but I'm not too upset knowing it was a webtoon.

"Cursed or no curse, I am a pretty princess who deserves love."

Everything about "Cursed Princess Club" hooked me! I'm glad I went out of my comfort zone and gave it a chance. I was intrigued from the very beginning.

Graphic novels are something I want to get more into because I find them interesting, but I don't even know where to start.

It took me a little bit to get into "Cursed Princess Club". However, it was a personal preference issue more than anything.

How can those contradictory statements be? Who knows? But both are true. I guess it's a matter of the small versus big picture. I enjoyed my experience reading overall, despite a few minor things in the grand scheme of things.

From the beginning, I knew that "Cursed Princess Club" was something I would fall in love with, so I preordered the physical copy before I even finished reading.

I read as much as possible until I couldn't and had to put it down for a couple of hours. However, despite everything, I picked up the book later in the day and finished reading it in one day. Toward the end, I didn't want to put it down. I wanted to know what happened.

I disliked Frederick at first, but he was redeemed in my eyes somewhat with his backstory. It did not excuse him by any means, and he's not my favorite, but I understand the why behind it. So I liked him enough that I wanted to root for him. Regardless, there were a few moments where I was like, 'WTF, Frederick!' And some that are just comical to me. It was pretty emotional for me as I was reading. I can't tell you the number of times I was grinning like a fool as I read.

"I want this to be a place where we can support one another…and remind ourselves that we are still beautiful and worthy of happiness, no matter what any person or prince thinks!"

Every time there was a scene about the Cursed Princess Club, it made me want to know more about the club and its members.

These characters are relatable, especially Gwen. I loved them overall. A few other things that I loved are Jamie and her relationship with Gwen's family. "Cursed Princess Club" would be a book I will pick up when I need a little pick me up!

I had some download issues but got my hands on it anyway and I’m glad I did!

This is such a cute series with such cute characters and it was so entertaining and funny to read! I also loved the artwork because I’m a sucker for cute art styles and the colour palette was lovely!

A great unique take on what a cursed princess is and what a traditional princess is. This story brings the laughs and tears as our group of characters learn to love who they are on the inside.

I just couldn't get into this. I tried, I read about half of it, but even though I read a lot of manga and graphic novels meant for teens (and younger audiences) this just felt way too juvenile for me :/ dnf

I picked up this book based on the cover and what a fun ride it was! I smashed through it in a day and was absolutely delighted by the hilarious story and characters. Each character was unique and I could never tell where the story was going! I typically don’t like the “miscommunication” trope but this flipped it on its head and made for a hilarious story. Many laughs to be had! Definitely worth picking up and I can’t wait for the next volume!

Unfortunately my device was not able to download it, so I missed out on reading such a promising novel. Really sad about it, I was excited to read it and emerge myself into this seemingly awesome world. Perhaps in the future I´ll get the opportunity!

What a cute start to a new series! There was a little too much drama for me and just so many stumbling points in Gwendolyn and Frederick but overall a modern reimagining of some fairy tale tropes.
Once upon a time in the Pastel kingdom lived three princesses with their father and brother. Two of the three princesses (and their brother) are conventionally beautiful while Gwendolyn is often compared to a withered crone or a witch. But her family only sees how beautiful she is on the inside and luxuriate in her amazing cooking. However, when the three princesses meet the brothers of the Plaid kingdom to whom they have more or less been betrothed, things start to go awry. The youngest, Frederick, is assumed to be marrying Gwendolyn but he is repulsed by her outward appearance. This leads to Gwendolyn running away and discovering the Cursed Princess Club where princesses (and princes) who have been cursed can learn to live their lives without waiting for some nebulous "Charming." Because this is the first book in the series, we concentrate a lot more on Gwendolyn than the club but I'm assuming that we will see more of the club in future books in the series.
