Prince of Never
Juno Heart
2/5
Lara lives a pretty normal and kind of bleak life. She works as a waitress to support her singing lessons. She lives with her aunt and her cousin, her mom died when she was a teenager and she never knew her dad. One night when walking home, she is forcefully transported to another dimension with all the magic that her mother used to create in her video games.
All in all, a fairly straight forward plot. Lara realizes that her voice is magic, that her song can compel people especially Prince Ever. She meets Ever as soon as she enters this alternate dimension and he's immediately very rude to her. He's the typical brooding royal who thinks himself above fraternizing with a human and also knows himself to be cursed. As the book goes on, they both discover things about the curse and the worlds they live in and become less horrible to each other.
I just really did not like the ending. It was so rushed, all of the conflicts that had been built through the novel felt like instantly solved. Then another conflict was rushed in to give content for the next book. I also feel like I wasn't really satisfied by the explanation of her mother's role in the whole conflict or with her parentage in general. I have no idea why she had magic, there was no explanation for that. There were just a lot of things that weren't satisfied by the conclusion.
I don't think I'll continue on in the series because I wasn't really impressed by the direction that its going. This book wasn't boring enough to DNF but it really just didn't have the kind of detail that I was looking for.
