In a world where anyone can create a life-destroying curse, only one person has the power to unravel them.

Kellen does not fully understand his talent, but helps those transformed maliciously—including Nettle. Recovered from entrapment in bird form, she is now his constant companion and closest ally.

But Kellen has also been cursed, and unless he and Nettle can remove his curse, Kellen is in danger of unravelling everything—and everyone—around him . . .

Billed as YA, which I’ve grown tired of, this didn’t come off that way at all. Except for a lot of yelling, there’s nothing significant that marks the two protagonists as young. One can unravel curses, the other is formerly cursed. And their world sits uneasily but peaceably next to The Wilds. Found this on a list of recommended books from 2023—I can only do the same.
