Claiming The Curse 🫶 Book Review

Claiming the Curse is book two in the Aralian series. The emotional typhoon this book took me through was incredible. I loved every minute!

Silas and Arianna are taken on an extraordinarily hard journey to save Silas from his illness. There are so many new and exciting characters along the way, and so many side characters with amazing potential for future books in the series.

The plot for Claiming the Curse follows the journey of both Silas and Arianna as well as expanding on the past and hinting at what is to come. Chelle does an amazing job weaving this story in a way that is a thrilling fantasy while also bringing that classic fairytale vibe.

If you haven’t started this series yet you are missing out on what could be one of your top series ever. I can’t wait to see what comes next!
