My 
review of C.N. Rowan’s imPerfect Curse. Get yours today!
There is always a price to pay. And I don’t just mean the $4.99
We all know that power does not come cheap. But more importantly, machinations now usually mean regrets later.
A bit less action than the first title, but the action at the end more than makes up for it. This book focuses a great deal on world-building and elaborates more on the protagonist’s back story, while leaving plenty to explore in further entries. His elaborate travails earn him a great deal of pathos.
I really loved the nerdy, referential humor. I found it crisp and engaging. Exactly the sort of banter I came to love in the first book, but tinged with the earnestness that shows the characters care for each other. And the wry asides bring a unique perspective on the fantasy world, conveying a deep cynicism about the world that still emanates from a believably ethical protagonist, which is a curious cocktail, but one that goes down with the right amount of zing.
With the multiple layers of heartbreak at the end, I’m left with one enduring realization. If I live to be 800, it’s important not to make any enemies along the way. Because there is always a price to pay.
