Kate Drami’s debut novel The Curse of Saints makes use of many well-loved tropes, but it’s missing that special something that distinguishes it from its comparators.
As Spymaster to the Queen, Aya is one of the most respected – and feared – people in her kingdom. Part of the Queen’s guard and her Third-in-Command, few citizens of her realm are more powerful. But unbeknownst to all, even her beloved Queen,, Aya’s tenuous grip on her staggering powerful magic is weakening. If she doesn’t learn to control her emotions, disaster will inevitably follow. If only Aya didn’t have to work so closely with Will, her bitter rival since childhood and a major pain in her ass. As the Queen’s Enforcer, the pair must work together to capture spies, foil plots, and generally uphold the interests of their realm.
When rumors of a dark magic in a nearby kingdom begin to spread, Will and Aya are sent to investigate. Could this power be the prophesied darkness that will break the veil between humans and the gods, calling forth the end of times? While investigating (spying) abroad, Aya’s emotional state becomes even more tumultuous as she begins to suspect that Will himself might be connected to this darkness – and even a plot to unseat the Queen.
Bit by bit, Dramis reveals the reason behind their discord – and it’s a good one. It may be a trope as old as time, but I love a good enemies-to-lovers romance arc. What can I say? Sue me. The seething tension between Aya and Will is delightful (Will’s “romantic” lines, less so). Unfortunately, I thought Aya and Will were much more compelling when they hated each other’s guts compared to their dynamic as a couple. It felt a little flat, which is a major disappointment in a fantasy romance novel.
These people are spymasters, generals, and diplomats, but half the time they’re running around acting like teenagers.
As with so many fantasy novels I’ve read lately, my main issue here was with the characters. I can forgive fantasy romance a lot of sins, but I can’t forgive sloppy character work. These people are spymasters, generals, and enforcers, but half the time they’re running around acting like teenagers. Maybe fantasy writers should give it a rest with all these twenty year-old government officials. I don’t know how safe I’d feel if I knew that the people running my kingdom, supposedly cunning and dangerous people, were falling for juvenile schemes. Blowing off a mission to get drunk in a medieval style dive bar after a fight with your prospective girlfriend is incredibly embarrassing behaviour.
I also wish I could speak more to the world building, but it was weirdly convoluted. Aya, Will, and the other members of the Queen’s elite forces all have magical abilities given to them by the gods, but the reason why the gods bestowed these gifts was never explained. Their magics are meant to stop the coming of an apocalypse, but the apocalypse might actually be the gods returning to the realm? I swear I was reading carefully, but I didn’t grasp it. Maybe that confusion is intentional, since Aya doesn’t understand the scope of her powers or her role in the coming battle, but instead of being intrigued by the mystery I just felt frustrated.
The Curse of Saints has significant crossover appeal for YA readers, but that isn’t me. I wanted to read an adult fantasy romance, not an average YA fantasy with a bland and familiar setting and characters. I won’t be continuing the series.

1. Sarah - 2/5 stars - I recently attended a magical arts school near me, and I have to say, it was a huge disappointment. The teachers were not well-prepared and seemed uninterested in their students' progress. The curriculum was outdated and irrelevant, and I didn't feel like I was learning anything valuable. The facilities were also in poor condition, with broken equipment and a lack of resources. Overall, I was thoroughly disappointed with my experience at this school for magical arts.
2. John - 1/5 stars - I had high hopes for the magical arts school near me, but it turned out to be a complete waste of time and money. The instructors had minimal knowledge and didn't provide proper guidance. The classes were disorganized and lacked structure. The facilities were old and in desperate need of renovation. It was clear that the school was more interested in making a profit than providing a quality education. I would not recommend this school to anyone interested in learning the magical arts.
3. Emma - 2/5 stars - I enrolled in a nearby school for magical arts, hoping to enhance my skills and meet fellow magical enthusiasts. Unfortunately, the overall experience was quite underwhelming. The classes were overcrowded, making it challenging to receive individual attention from the instructors. The curriculum felt rushed, and we barely scratched the surface of the magical arts. Additionally, the school lacked a sense of community, and it was challenging to connect with other students. I left feeling unsatisfied and unfulfilled.
