Once upon a curse, in a land far away, there lived a young princess named Aurora. She was the most beautiful princess in the kingdom, with long golden hair, sparkling blue eyes, and a smile that could light up the darkest room. However, Aurora had a secret. She was cursed by a wicked witch when she was just a baby. The curse stated that on her sixteenth birthday, Aurora would prick her finger on a spinning wheel and fall into a deep sleep from which she could only be awakened by true love's kiss. As Aurora grew older, her parents did everything they could to protect her from the curse.
When a fairy puts a curse on Princess Emeralda (Emma)'s ancestor, Princess Hazel, Emma needs to go back in time to find the counter-curse before her 16th birthday. If Emma touches a single flower after she turns 16, Greater Greensward will no longer have a Green Witch to protect the kingdom anymore. And if Emma and Eadric get married before they reverse the curse, Emma could fall for the curse, and she will turn so nasty that no one can stand her! Will Emma, Eadric, and Li'l end the family before it's to late?

As Aurora grew older, her parents did everything they could to protect her from the curse. They banned spinning wheels from the kingdom and locked Aurora away in a tall tower, guarded by loyal knights. But no matter what precautions were taken, fate had a way of playing its part.

Reviews for "The Curse of the Talking Mirror: Reflections of a Troubled Soul"
1. Jane - 1 star
I found "Once Upon a Curse" to be a complete disappointment. The book lacked any originality and felt like a rehash of every other fairytale I have ever read. The characters were bland and one-dimensional, and the plot was predictable from beginning to end. The writing was also lackluster, with no depth or emotion. Overall, I would not recommend this book to anyone looking for a unique or engaging fairytale retelling.
2. Mark - 2 stars
I had high hopes for "Once Upon a Curse," but unfortunately, it fell flat for me. While the concept of mixing multiple fairytales into one story was intriguing, the execution left much to be desired. The pacing was slow and dragged on, making it difficult to stay engaged. Additionally, the character development was lacking, and I never felt invested in their journeys. The writing style was also underwhelming, failing to create a captivating atmosphere or draw me into the story. Overall, I was left feeling unimpressed and unsatisfied with this book.
3. Sarah - 2 stars
"Once Upon a Curse" had an interesting premise, but it failed to deliver on its potential. The plot felt disjointed, jumping from one fairytale to another with little cohesion. It was difficult to keep track of the multiple storylines and characters, which made the book confusing and hard to follow. The author also missed the mark when it came to world-building. The settings felt underdeveloped, and I never felt fully immersed in the magical world portrayed in the book. While the idea had promise, the execution was lacking, and I wouldn't recommend this book to others.
