Title: A Cursed Kingdom
Author: R.A. Lindo
Date: 2025
Quote: "Prepare your openings and understand that every word will count."
The students who "win" a creative writing competition find themselves acting out adventures in the world of their stories. Their preparation for each stage in their journey involves dreaming or writing more of the story they're about to live out.
Their first big adventure reaches a kind of resolution, at the end, but lots of loose ends are waiting to be tied up in a series. This is the author who gave us the long series about Kaira Renn and this short novel gives every indication that another long series is on its way.
Will you want to read the series? Maybe. How much do you want to find out whether Lena will choose Tom or Jack, what's wrong with unfriendly Hayley and how she'll get over it, whether she'll pair up with one of the boys, how their parents will be involved, what happened to Tom's father's friend Sleeping Bill in the years he's spent in the collective fantasy world...The concept is interesting; it should be fun to find out where Lindo takes it.
