From a narrative standpoint, I really liked Sealed with a Curse. Outside of the structural issues I had (I'll get to that in a minute) I enjoyed the story and the characters. The eldest Wird sister, Celia, narrates the story and I loved her voice. She was incredibly smart, funny, and vulnerable. She didn't fall into the dreaded "being bitchy means being strong" archetype that many romantic heroines fall under. She was a strong woman because she was brave and independent person. Structurally, I wish I had actually known the sisters' back story but that seems to be left out in the world building. I know they were in foster care and had a rough childhood but that's pretty much the extent of what I know. I suppose more of the world building details about them will be revealed as the series progresses but I think I would have rather had a strong foundation to begin with instead. 
 That was the one thing I had an issue with: the world building. Structurally, when a new world is being created with its own rules it's usually laid out early on in the narrative so that the following events make logical sense to that universe. I felt like Sealed with a Curse just assumed the reader would pick it up as the story progressed. At times I thought that I wasn't reading the first book in the series. Like some new rule would come up and I would ask "Am I already supposed to have been aware of that?" It just felt like it was the second book in the series because it wasn't laying the foundation for the series as the debut novel should. 
 Was there any smut? No, not really. 
 While Sealed with a Curse definitely was a romance, it was actually somewhat chaste. I mean... like there were definitely boners (never fear!) but we didn't get to see them in action. Does that make sense? I think later on in the series there is potential for this to get steamy. Luckily, the story was very well done so I didn't really mind the lack of perv scenes. HA! 
 Overall, I really enjoyed Sealed with a Curse. While I did have an issue with the structure of the story, the narrative had a lot of things going for it such as: action, sass, magic, likeable characters, and romance. I guess in simple terms Sealed with a Curse was just a fun read. I'm invested in the sisters and would love to see where the story goes.
