Cursed Princess Club has been one of my favorite GN in a LONG time, it's so fun and whimsical! When I found out there'd be a novel adaptation of one of my favorite GN reads, I *HAD* to read it! I think it helps give a lot of insight into the minds of our main characters a bit more, so I think it's a better read to have alongside the GN series. Frederick's personality is a bit more fleshed out than what we saw in the GN, the princes all came off a bit superficial (which falls into the theme of the story, with Gwen etc), and we hear a bit more of his thoughts and background. We immediately get to see how beautiful of a person Gwen is from the start, and I think I'm her biggest fan :)
If you've read the GN series, you'll enjoy this! If you haven't, you still will! As long as you like fairy tale retellings, sweet princesses who are more than just skin deep, and wacky fun!

This was such a cute and clever twist on the classic princess story. I loved the way it mixed humor, heart, and a touch of satire while still feeling really warm and uplifting. The characters were quirky and fun, and the themes of acceptance and self-love gave it so much depth beneath the comedy. Some of the pacing felt a little uneven, but overall it was an easy, feel-good read. If you’re into fairytale retellings with a modern, empowering vibe, this one is super fun to dive into.

My middle school daughter is obsessed with this series. She literally screamed out loud when I showed her that we had an advanced copy. My daughter said book five is just as great as all of the others. She loves the underlining love stories through these books.
