Truth Cursed by Angie Dickinson

About

Truth Cursed was very clean, but it took me nearly two months to read it. I was intrigued by the concept (otherwise I would have DNFed it pretty quickly), and I enjoyed the romance sideplot. But overall, it was a very slow read, and there were lots of cringy parts in it. I was confused during part of the book and bored for another part, but when I wasn't either of those things, I enjoyed the spying part and the light romance.

If you're looking for a clean Christian fantasy read, this would be a good option.

Thoughts

Cressida Hoth is alone in the world. Orphaned and unwanted, she is inflicted with a peculiar curse by her mischievous aunts and banished to a finishing school in the secluded kingdom of Dernmont. Students train in every accomplishment suitable for young music, dancing, etiquette . . . and strangely, poison-making, fencing, and lock-picking.

The school is a front for a rebel spy ring, and when her training is complete, Cressida is selected to join a mission to infiltrate the kingdom’s royal court. She has been thrown unceremoniously into a world of ball gowns and espionage, but she is still under a curse, and it threatens to expose them all.

Defending her teammates and her secret, Cressida discovers that the kingdom’s buried history and the truth behind her curse run far deeper than she imagined.
