The Cursed Academy Complete Series Boxset #1-6 by Holly Hook

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

★★★☆☆

Cool Concept, Disenchanting Characters

I enjoyed reading this series, but also disliked many of the characters, who didn’t feel particularly fleshed out. The FMC was often selfish and a terrible friend. She was supposedly arty, but forgot all about her passion the moment she entered Cursed Academy. She lacked any real personality. Her leading man was similar and a self-identified ‘alpha male’ (and not in the werewolf kind) and there were several comments about ‘being a man’ by not showing emotions or that characters were handling things ‘like a man’. I enjoyed a lot of the side characters, and would’ve liked to seen them more fleshed out. Saying that, the last book was probably the best for this. Knowing about Greek mythology also made it somewhat predictable, such as the roles of the gods and the parts they came to play. But they also didn’t feature a lot. However, a really cool concept for a story and I’ll probably check out the authors other works, but I do hope that there is a little more depth. This is good casual reading.
