How to Break an Evil Curse

Did not finish at 10%. The book was fairy tale satire along the lines of the Enchanted Forest Chronicles or Heroes Guide to Saving the Kingdom. It did well with being arch, but unlike the other books I mentioned, it did not balance it out with any heart. The characters were good for punchlines, but not interesting as characters. It made everything feel like a joke carried on too long. Getting the balance right in this kind of novel is hard, and this one did not succeed at it.
