I picked up this book without knowing where it fit into the Caraval universe. I just knew that my favorite character from the Caraval trilogy, Jacks, was in it.

Once Upon A Broken Heart did not disappoint me. It was as infused with magic and stories as I hoped, and I found myself enjoying Evangeline's story.  This book is filled with curses, mysteries and suspens, and, not to forget, lovr. It reads swiftly with a fast-paced plot that never left me bored. Thus, I am also distraught by the cliffhanger which leaves a lot of questions to be answered.
