Born Wicked: Star Cursed

In a very furious kind of way. Woman are not allowed to read. Woman are not allowed to work outside their houses. Women are supposed to be obedient to their husbands and fathers and sons. This books made so angry I thought I was going to throw it against the wall and never pick it up again.

It's cruel to read this book, to read how woman are treated. However, I have to praise Spotswood for her amazing writing, capturing the emotions extremely good. As for the characters Again, well done Jessica! Maura is definitely on my list of worst characters ever. I love love love Tess! There are more scenes with her and Cate and their sisterhood is really goals. I loved them together a lot, but Tess alone is such a cute and caring character. All in all, I'm happy to have continued reading the Cahill Witches.

I really hope the last one will be as good or even better as this one! May 05, April rated it it was amazing Shelves: Who does not love witches? Seriously, I cannot name a single person.

Jun 08, Rachel Kulik rated it really liked it Shelves: This review is posted on my blog, Rachel Reading. If you like it, and would like to see more like it, please check it out! Every time I think it's murdered my soul sufficiently it comes up with a way to kill me even more. It's been like a month since I've read it and I still haven't recovered enough to start Sisters' Fate.

It's that bad, y'all. But in the most amazing way. If you haven't read this series you need to. I'm such a sucker for a gre This review is posted on my blog, Rachel Reading. I'm such a sucker for a great dystopian with amazing world building built in. AND dystopian female characters that aren't dealing with awkward love triangles and that defines their main conflict.

It murders everything you love though, so just be fully aware. Once it fully picked up though it was amazing and I didn't want to let it go. It would probably be like 4. But seriously this series y'all. Also, I think I can say I've never hated a female character more in my life than Maura. Like I just can't stand her. I also need a shirt that says "So he calls me up again and he's like 'I still love you' and I'm like 'but you're not Finn Belastra'" just because Even remembering this book is making me freak out again.

Time to read Sister's Fate I think. Mar 01, Jen Ryland marked it as to-read. I'm happy to report that there is no middle-book-in-a-series-slump going on here! Star Cursed, the second book in the Cahill Witch Chronicles, is overflowing with conflict. First, there's the political drama that underlies the rivalry between the Sisterhood and the Brotherhood. Then, Sister Cora, the leader of the Sisterhood, is gravely ill, and there's a simmering dispute about who will take over after she dies and how the Sisters should deal with Brotherhood. There's also the growing tensions I'm happy to report that there is no middle-book-in-a-series-slump going on here!

There's also the growing tensions between between Cate and her younger sister, Maura. When Maura arrives at the convent, she is still reeling from a broken heart, and obviously angry at and jealous of Cate as all three sisters try to deal with possible interpretations of that ominous prophecy. Finally, there's the issue of Finn. Cate was falling in love with him in book one, and couldn't explain to him why she was forced to enter the convent.

All this makes for a story that's rich in intrigue and suspense -- the fear and paranoia caused by the Brotherhood rounding up women, the interpersonal conflict among the witches and the sisters, and the romantic suspense. I have to confess that I'm still not a big fan of Finn -- say that last part ten times fast -- but do like Cate, and if she's happy, I'm happy. I continued to love the very relationship between the three sisters. And then … wow, that ending. I definitely didn't see it coming and it will definitely make for even more drama in the third book.

Apr 18, Jerlyn rated it it was amazing Shelves: Okay, wow, I didn't realise it was possible to dislike a character so much! This series is incredible, and I love the pacing. The only problem I had was with how melodramatic it got at the end there. I need to know what happens next ASAP! Sep 29, Elizabeth rated it really liked it Shelves: Dec 06, Rachel rated it it was amazing Shelves: New characters are introduced, many existing characters return, there is a new setting to discover and layers have been added to the plot, the characters, the world.

And with a story that delivers action and betrayal, a quick pace, an intriguing plot, compelling characters and a tension-filled build-up to a shocking conclusion, this second installment takes this series to the next level. Talk of a new oracle has made the Brotherhood even more ruthless in their efforts to uncover and eradicate the witches.

With more and more innocent girls being imprisoned, harsher restrictions being enforced and life becoming even more intolerable under their rule, there are those who are no longer willing to stand quietly by and just let it happen. There are even those ready to take action. But with it still unclear as to who the most powerful witch of the prophecy is, going to war would put the Sisters at great risk. A risk that if they were to take and lose, could mean their end.

Author Jessica Spotswood has followed-up her enchanting first book in the series with one that is just as magical but offers up an even more engaging, more suspenseful, more exciting and more heart-wrenching storyline. She has allowed readers to get to know her main character, Cate Cahill, along with a few of the supporting characters, even better.

Readers with high expectations for this sequel will not be disappointed, it does not suffer from sophomore slump. The plot is more danger-filled, more complex. The love story more swoon-worthy, heartwarming, heartbreaking. The betrayal far more devastating.

Born Wicked: Star Cursed

The build to the conclusion more nerve-wracking, more climactic. And the ending more surprising, more shocking, more heart-stopping. Oh the blog I gave this my 6 star "off-the-menu" rating. On a personal note… Oh. This book was so out-of-this-world good that there are no words to describe… okay, maybe there are a few words… maybe more than few. But I think I have to begin at the end. Because that ending did kill me. I thought the ending for the first book in the series was torturous.

I mean, I knew something was going to happen. I may have suspected that something just like what happened would happen. The author teased, warned, foreshadowed, hinted, that something was going to happen. But it made it no less torturous. Knife to the heart. And now I have to wait. There was the build-up to the end. And this book is definitely one of those books that blew me away. Before the build-up there was all that stuff in the middle and at the beginning.

Stuff that made this story the amazing and compelling book it was. Stuff that kept me riveted. Talking about certain characters would be spoiler-y. Talking about certain character and storyline developments would be equally as revealing. But maybe, just maybe, I can talk about Cate.

Who was even more amazing in this book than she was in the last. She was every bit as compassionate and thoughtful. She was just as caring. But she was a little more decisive, a little more sure of herself and her abilities. Things did not get any easier for Cate in this sequel. Things actually got quite a bit more difficult. Between what had happened to her in that first book to what was expected of her in this one, Cate had a lot to deal with. STAR CURSED is so much more suspenseful than its predecessor, there is quite a bit of action packed into the story, the betrayal goes so much deeper, the plot is far more complex.

And the ending… shocking, heartbreaking, torturous to the nth degree.

And I just know the next book is going to be epic. Eine gewisse Wendung am Schluss hat mich total aus der Bahn geworfen und ich bin gespannt, wie die Geschichte weitergehen wird. PS jsuis in love avec Finn. Feb 06, Juhina rated it it was amazing Shelves: I am happy to say that Star Cursed didn't suffer form the middle book syndrome. It also exceeded my expectations and I ended up loving it even more than Born Wicked.

So much happens in Star Cursed and there 4. So much happens in Star Cursed and there are so many ups and highs that I ended up going through emotionally. Also we get to glimpse even more into the lives of the witches as well as witness even more gruesome and horrific acts done by the brotherhood in the name of their faith. I think the reason why I love this series is that there is no clear good and bad side.

While the brotherhood is pure evil in my opinion, some of the members are forced to be a part of it in order to keep their families safe. Also, what I found surprising that even the witches covenant isn't made up of all good members that want the greater good, but actually filled with witches with hidden agendas and a need for power and supremacy. Of course Cate is in the middle of things, especially with the prophecy that seems to be pointing to her and her two other sisters.

I have to say, Cate really grew up in this novel. She had her flaws, mostly for her unconditional trust towards her sister Maura.. However Maura just annoyed the hell out of me and I just couldn't believe where all her hatred comes from.

This is one messed up girl. The bright light in this sister triangle is Tess. She is really a ball of sunshine and her relationship with Cate is just so adorable. However don't underestimate her because this girl is powerful. The difference between Tess and Maura is like the difference between day and night. Romance wise, we are not void of that; Finn was the anchor in Cate's life. He supported her decisions but at the same time voiced his own. He wasn't the typical 2D love interest we end up seeing in many YA books.
