She’s feeling pretty betrayed by Jacks, and a little brokenhearted (hehe) because though she will not yet admit it to herself, she has developed feelings for the Fate. He was actually just cursed by Jacks, a Fate who she thought was working with her but in truth had lied to her. The Ballad of Never After is the sequel to Stephanie Garber’s Once Upon A Broken Heart, and it picks up right where the first book left off.Įvangeline, our pink-haired protagonist, has just found out that her husband (who she thought was dead) is, in fact, alive. So, let’s dive in to The Ballad of Never After, as well as my thoughts, theories, and predictions! What Happens In The Ballad of Never After? There were tons and tons of fun twists in this book, and the ending left me with quite a few questions. I had mixed feelings about the first book in the series, Once Upon A Broken Heart, but this second book really sold me on the series.ĭo I think this is the best-written story of our generation? Hmm…nope! BUT it is really fun and silly, and if you like a young adult, slow-burn romance in a fantasy setting, this is the book for you! This series is a SLOW BURN, let me tell you. I just finished The Balled of Never After by Stephanie Garber, and I am left with a Jacks-shaped hole in my heart! The ending really got me ( plus, I went into reading this book thinking it was a duology, so I was truly so surprised). *This post may contain affiliate links, meaning we earn a small commission if you make a purchase through links on our site.
