I like to remember how Jacks talks about Eva but makes it worse. in that party scene, where Lala says he almost kissed eva, Jacks tells Eva she looks hot after they stare at each other and all that sexual tension kicks in. Then there's all that drama with another girl, and Jacks gets mad at Eva and Eva comments that he holds her like she's the one he's wanted all night. He said Eva looked hot, but >he< was the person who got the most ''hot'' there 👀
Haha, I love how they're so obvious and so in denial they are at the same time 💕😅
What moment do you think Jacks started feeling attracted to Eva? I think it was when she was poisoned and they went to Lala's apartment, when Evangeline comes back all dressed up by Lala to go see Chaos.
After much thought, I decided it was the crypt scene that changed their dynamic. Jacks, as a vampire, had let slip that he couldn't think of anything he liked more than Evangeline.
Sure, he was under the vampire venom influence, but as we have discovered with Evangeline, she had wanted Jacks before she could even fully admit to it.
And Jacks had mentioned this moment when he found her in the library. There's attraction right there 😉
That moment is a good one, too! His expression when he saw her was so good! 😘
As much as I think Jacks tries to deny it, he is looking for a Happily Ever After just like Evangeline. It might not be the perfect picture that Evangeline envisions her Happily Ever After, but it still concerns requited and unconditional love.
The Prince of Hearts represents broken hearts and unrequited love for other people. But to Jacks himself it also means he's doomed to suffer the same fate.
I want to go further into his characterization because I think he as a character who has a lot of subtleties to unpack. I'll start in the rough order of the timeline of all three books (two of the Caraval trilogy, and OUABH)
Spoilers to Legendary, Finale, and Once Upon A Broken Heart.
When His Heart Stopped Beating...
It just occurred to me that Jacks once had a beating heart. Initially I thought his heart never beat once since the Fallen Star created the Fates. (This is why I don't think he was ever born but created instead).
In Once Upon A Broken Heart, Evangeline goes over the lore of the Prince of Hearts:
According to the myths, the Prince of Hearts was not capable of love because his heart had stopped beating long ago. Only one person could make it work again: his one true love. They said his kiss was fatal to all but her—his only weakness—and as he'd sought her, he'd left a trail of corpses.
I highlighted the ones that I think are integral to Jacks's backstory and desire. First, why did his heart stop beat in the first place? Second, who was it who made his heart stop beating? And third, could the same person who made his heart stop also be his true love?
I'm so dam curious about this that I feel a theory slowly form as I'm writing this. Heck, I write it right now.
The Princess with the Pink Hair
(Headcanon Alert!) Could it be possible that the princess with the pink hair briefly mentioned in the book really is Evangeline? If she was, then it would mean that Evangeline is reincarnated.
Jacks meets Evangeline in the past. She somehow stops his heart. He forgets her. He leaves the North and starts his arduous search for his True Love. Every girl he kisses dies as per his curse. Years past and his hope weakens.
At this point in his journey, Jacks has had it with not having any success with his search. And yet he cannot stop. This is Jacks's urge. The urges that LaLa explained to Evangeline.
"Fates aren't like humans, you know. We don't all share the same emotions, and some humans think we are entirely unfeeling. But it's the opposite. When we feel, it's intense and consuming. It devours us and drives us. And the strongest of our feelings is always the urge to be that which we were made to be."
LaLa concludes that it was the same for Jacks. Evangeline figures his is to kill any potential love with his kiss. I can't help but think she's somewhat wrong about this. Jacks's drive is not to kill any potential love but to find it and keep it.
The same drive that Evangeline feels.
Jacks might not even remember why his heart had stopped beating but he always makes a point of it to Evangeline. Anyway, LaLa has a lot of important things to say to Evangeline about Jacks. That all he needed was a hint of attraction and he would be drawn to their person in hopes of that she's the girl his kiss won't kill.
And yet his hopes are always in vain. Jacks wants love, even if it turns him human. I'll come back to this!!!
Jacks goes to Chaos for a favor a 100 years ago...
I've discussed this before in another post so I won't go into detail, but I will add the possible context of this favor. Jacks wants something from the Valory, the mythical prison that the Valory Arch leads to.
However, the Valory Arch is locked by a prophecy. Fortunately for Jacks, he knows it and bets on the girl with the pink hair. After she opens it, Jacks will toss her to Chaos and get what he desires inside the Valory.
Because of Phaedra's name and connection in Greek mythology, I have a feeling that the Valory is reminiscent of Pandora's Box.
When Pandora opened the box, pain, greed, death, and hatred escaped. At the bottom of the box was Hope. Now Pandora's Box serves as a metaphor to leave things untouched for it would only bring endless complications.
I imagine the Valory is holding an abomination that the Valors kept. This is the first version of the story that Prince Apollo tells Evangeline.
Nothing good will come out from the Valory Arch. But I do believe Jacks will find what he wants there. Because at the back of the Valory is Love as Hope was in Pandora's Box.
After Jacks Escapes the Deck
By the time Legendary comes along, time has passed since his deal with Chaos. Jacks is indifferent to love. Until he meets Tella. He doesn't fall for her right away until Tella makes his heart finally beat. Jacks believes in love again, this hope that it exists for him. Because his urge is to find this potential love, Jacks is not threatened by Tella's existence.
Which is very curious to me 👀
In Finale, the Fallen Star kills the only woman who has ever made him close to being human (because of his love for her). (I mention this warning here when I speak about True Love not being the case for Jacks and Tella). Fates were immortals and only love can make them human. If they feel threatened by the source of love, they immediately kill it.
After his desperate cry for Tella, it hit me that Jacks could possibly want to be human. I know he made a big of deal of wanting his full powers in the Caraval trilogy and twisted Legend's hand to get it back, but Jacks didn't care about it. He only wanted Tella back.
No matter if Love turns him human.
Jacks had loved Tella so much it was an obsession. She was all he thought of, and he promised he wouldn't kill her after they "divorced." To me, that proves how much he meant what he said to Tella, how much he wanted her to be his True Love.
After Tella chose Legend, showing him that Love is powerful enough to break spells, Jacks is even more invigorated about his main plan to find that Love for himself.
The Valory Arch is his only hope.
Jacks Meets Evangeline
Jacks meets her at his church a few weeks after Caraval (events after Legendary) and meets her again a couple of months later (after the events of Finale/Week of Terror) at the Magnificent North. He had not forgotten about Evangeline after his deal with her.
The deal that pertains to Jacks's overall plan and deal with Chaos.
Returning to the headcanon that Evangeline is the reincarnated princess, the same girl who stopped Jacks's heart, and apparently the only girl who could restart it, I detect an irony here.
Even if Evangeline isn't the reincarnated princess, Jacks had bet on his True Love. Without even knowing it. This mythical girl with the pink hair that he had used for his gain is his True Love.
HOW WILD IS THAT?!?!?!?! He's surely going to regret it!
After Evangeline Makes His Heart Beat...Again
Jacks has to know that Evangeline is the direct cause of his heart beating again. She was the only one there when it happened. The only one who touched his chest at the right moment.
I'm not sure what Jacks's thought process could be in the beginning of The Ballad of Never After. But it could go two ways:
He remains the same, meaning he's not aware of Evangeline making his heart beat.
Or he does know and something innate awakens inside of him. The need to protect her and raise if any such harm comes her way.
I'm going with option #2 because of the snippet that Stephanie Garber had shared.
If this snippet refers to Jacks, then Jacks should already be aware of his heart beating. Meaning he should have an inkling that Evangeline may be his True Love. Jacks already has a "hint of attraction" for Evangeline.
Kerri Maniscalco made a lot of comments of wanting Jacks to kill someone and it's in the first 100 pages. Jacks may not yet be ready to become vulnerable with Evangeline. He doesn't want to get hurt. Or disappointed to know she doesn't feel the same way for him.
But I have a feeling that Jacks will do anything to protect Evangeline because he had before even when Evangeline was only a pawn for him. Now that he realizes that his heart finally beat again and it was because of Evangeline, I fear for anyone's life who threatens his True Love.
Jacks is going to regret betting on Evangeline's life to open the Valory Arch. Evangeline is cursed and she's going to meet her end. I'm certainly excited to see how Jacks's heart will turn, even if it doesn't turn out like this or any of the other theories.
Because one thing is positive, Jacks is going to annihilate someone in Evangeline's presence. To protect her or eliminate obstacles, I don't know, but I'm hoping it's the former.
ONCE UPON A BROKEN HEART’S SEQUEL TITLE + TRUE LOVE (PART 1)
Hello, everyone!
We finally have a title for the sequel, The Ballad of Never After! How exciting is that? And to my surprise, the title and the emojis that Stephanie Garber posted confirmed a lot of my and @amani8907’s theories!
(Update: This post was getting long, so I'll have to discuss the theories to The Ballad of Never After in Part 2 🌸)
Before I start rambling about the True Love affairs, I’ll add a spoiler warning. I will discuss spoilers to Once Upon a Broken Heart (2021), Legendary (2018), and Finale (2019). So, if you have not read Once Upon a Broken Heart, please read it because it’s freaking good 🦊🍎❤️
TRUE LOVE? NOT EXACTLY HMMM 😏🤯
So, let’s go back in time for a bit to Legendary where Tella Dragna was our protagonist and she met the Prince of Hearts for the first time. From what we know of Jacks, his kiss is lethal to all except for his true love, and only she could make his heart beat. At the beginning of the book, Jacks kisses Tella, and they glow! He gave her until Caraval to figure out who is Legend and if she didn’t have the answer then she’d die.
In Once Upon A Broken Heart, we learn that Tella should have died in a matter of days. To prevent her from dying, Jacks had slowed Tella’s heartbeat. However, by the end of Caraval, Jacks’s heart started beating and Tella didn’t die! So, if Tella didn't die from Jacks’s kiss and she made his heart start beating, then Tella must be Jacks’s true love.
I may be a little bias because, by the time I started reading Legendary, I have already read the first ten chapters to Once Upon a Broken Heart (but I stopped myself to finish the Caraval trilogy first). I have already decided that Evangeline was Jacks’s true love but I was still intrigued when that moment between Tella and Jacks happened.
Then Finale came and made things messier than things were between Jacks and Tella. Tella, at this point, is already in love with Legend. But while Legend was being confusing as ever, Jacks and Tella grew closer after Paloma had died. There was a blood exchange and this is a very critical tell that Tella is not Jacks’s true love.
Sure, Tella did fill out the story of not dying from his kiss and making his heart finally beat. But keep in mind that throughout Legendary, Tella was already dying. She showed signs of it with her slowing heartbeat and nosebleeds. I imagine his true love shouldn’t have experienced all of this suffering.
When I think about true love, I think about “love at first sight” and whoever that was is their soulmate.
This was a point in Once Upon A Broken Heart where Evangeline believed in “love at first” and that was her idea of love and happily ever afters. Even if it wasn’t an instant moment, she believed that certain love took time. This was not the case for Jacks and Tella.
During the blood exchange, Jacks had tricked Tella into marrying him. Tella had felt lust, obsession, fixation, and desperation when the martial connection was made. No love. This negative language used whenever it concerns Jacks and Tella is always precise and constant. Even Mistress Luck brought it up to Tella once.
“If you weren’t drawn to him, you wouldn’t be here. You’re the human girl who made Jacks’s heart beat again. There are whispers you’re his one true love. But that doesn’t mean what you think it does. Immortals cannot love. Love is not one of our emotions… When we’re attracted to humans, we only feel obsession, fixation, lust, possession…It’s not safe to tempt an immortal to love. And if Jacks doesn’t kill you because he’s tempted to love you, then I promise his obsession with you will destroy you.” - Mistress Luck (Chapter 20)
As I said, the language used in this passage from Finale is negative. I believe Jacks was in love with Tella, I really do, because he was heartbroken and blue in Once Upon A Broken Heart and when he spoke of her, he always flinched, and his tone was clipped.
When Tella came to confront him about this marital union, it wasn’t because she shared the same feelings for him. She came to him to end their marriage. To do it, she must kill him but before this was done, Jacks was desperate, and he poured his heart out to her in a genuine way that I have never seen him exude.
“You were supposed to be my true love. You were supposed to want me, not him. You were supposed to be as obsessed with me as I am with you… When I told Legend I’d kill you if he didn’t give me the power I needed, I didn’t mean it—I wouldn’t have done it. A part of me even hoped he’d say no, so that you would walk away from him and choose me. I’m selfish, and I want you, but I would never harm you.” - Jacks (Chapter 44)
Negative again. No love but an obsession. Also, I know Jacks isn’t exactly a morally good character, but when he gave Tella a literal heart attack, I was SHOCKED! I don’t know about you, but I don’t think you’d do something like that to your true love. Which is a stark contrast to Jacks’s unexpected protective nature when it came to Evangeline. I’ll come back to this!
Then the end of Finale confirmed to me that Tella was never Jacks’s true love. After Jacks put a love spell over Tella, she had broken out of it with her (true) love for Legend. No matter what Jacks did he was never going to have her, and she was never going to choose him. She had already chosen Legend.
Not A "Love At First" with EvaJacks but...👀
Now back to the present with Once Upon A Broken Heart. @amani8907 and I talked a lot about Tella and Jack's confusing true love affair. As I said, I imagine "true love" to be limited to one person, but what if there are more true loves after all?
Jacks had admitted that he thought Tella was his one true love. But that story had ended tragically. Evangeline, too, had a similar story with Luc, her first love, the boy she wanted to marry. But that story also ended tragically. Jacks could never be with Tella and Evangeline could never be with Luc.
Common heartbreak, eh? Speaking about it makes everything better, right? I do believe it did make things better. With Jacks leaving his dagger (the one Tella used to slash him) behind, it seemed like he was ready to let Tella go.
And what did he do before he left the dagger? HE WRAPPED EVANGELINE WITH HER CAPE, KEEPING HER WARM. It's a small gesture, but bear in mind that at the beginning of Chapter 39, Jacks didn't make any movement to keep her warm in the first place!
Evangeline shivered, and Jacks watched her, but he offered absolutely no comfort as a gust of wind tore through the fog.
Jacks doesn't do grand gestures and although he's been sweet with Tella after she witnessed her mother's death, Jacks hasn't been this kind to Evangeline. Out of his own volition. Yes, he saved Evangeline's life, but he did that because he needed her to open the infamous Valory Arch.
And yet something had changed when they spoke about their heartbreak. When allowed to stab Jacks, Evangeline didn't take it even though she had said she wanted to do it. This is such a difference between Evangeline and Tella.
The thought of someone stabbing through a person's heart (literally) where the person's driving force is finding their true love shocked Evangeline. But this doesn't make Tella a bad person. Jacks had manipulated her and that was the only way to sever the connection.
With that said, Jacks still felt hurt and held onto that dagger. Until he left it after an intense moment between him and Evangeline.
Chapter 44 is special because it holds a lot of clues to Evangeline and Jacks's eventual love story. They spoke about their heartbreak, which surprise, surprise, helped them, especially Jacks move on.
Evangeline's drive for love is exactly like Jacks's. According to her, it's her weakness.
She wasn't making loving choices, she was making compromising choices because she wanted love. Luc wasn't her weakness—love was. Not even just love but the idea of it.
And what's a Fate's weakness? Love.
This was why parts of Jacks's story had twisted so painfully inside her. It wasn't because she wanted Jacks. She didn't want Jacks. She just wanted someone to want her the way Jacks had wanted this girl.
Both Evangeline and Jacks crave love so powerful that it could break spells. They could be that person for each other. And they will.
Also, within this chapter, Jacks had let himself slip as Evangeline spoke about Luc. He was clearly jealous. But not in a possessive way. And he let it slip that he believed Evangeline was strong. OMG. 🤩
Actually, almost all of Chaos's chapters told a lot about what Jacks felt for Evangeline.
Example 1: Keep Her Calm + Chaos KNOWS
When Jacks held her hand, I think this was instinctive. Chaos noticed this warm little act and commented on it. He knew Jacks was warming up to Evangeline.
Example 2: Love Breaks Spells Parallel
I mean, it's such a parallel to the way Jacks had tried to convince Tella to stay with him. But her love spell broke for Legend. In this case, it's sort of like that but ahhhh I love it!
Example 3: Instinctive Shield
I have never seen Jacks act this way with Tella. He put her in danger but when it comes to Evangeline, he's quick to protect her. Sure, he could have been protecting her to use her later for the Valory Arch. But some keywords say otherwise.
"Lightning fast," "like a shield," "without even thinking," "acted out of pure instinct," and "scared for her."
LIKE WHAT? JACKS SCARED? UNBELIEVABLE! But it was all true for Evangeline. I had discussed this with @amani8907 how I don't think I'll be that quick to protect someone if I'm only using them for selfish reasons.
I don't think Jacks even realized what he had done. But I think his body or innate nature of being a Fate finding his True Love is telling him, "Protect this girl because she's your one true love."
Example 4: Jealous Much?
"You have absolutely no sense when it comes to him." It's like he's jealous. This whole paragraph really shines a light on what he expects people to act in front of him or how to think about him. He's a Fate, the Prince of Hearts. He commands attention and yet he pointed out that Evangeline seemed like she wanted a human boy to destroy her instead of someone like him. It's quite fascinating.
THE BIG MOMENT BETWEEN EVAJACKS 💗🦊🍎
Before Jacks succumbed to his deep sleep, Evangeline had let herself slip and touch his hair to which Jacks told her, "Bad idea." And yet he had grabbed her hand.
Then this happened:
Evangeline felt Jacks's heart beat!!!!!!!
The story becomes true once more. Whoever makes the Prince of Hearts' heart beat again is his true love. And this time it is true. A hint of his heartbeat was present back in the crypt after Evangeline had told him straight about not understanding any emotions that are remotely human.
Jacks flinched. He was quick to cover it up, and it was hard to fully see, even with all the torches, but Evangeline would have sworn his cheeks had filled with streaks of color.
Jacks's complexion is always described as pale but then she saw his cheeks redden. REDDEN. Blood had rushed to his face, which means that Jacks's heart had beaten before, but Evangeline didn't know this.
Until the moment Evangeline had placed her hand directly over his heart. It was slow, which meant that he was not in love with Evangeline yet, but he was feeling something for her.
Not all loves happened at first; some took time to grow like seeds, or they might be like bulbs, dormant until the right season approached.
Though Jacks and Evangeline can hardly stand each other, their love is like a bulb, and it'll flourish in time. 🌹🌸💐
Apples 🍎 + True Love 💗
Answer? 👀🤔
Maybe that's the reason Jacks enjoys apples because it tastes like true love. And even though the apples that Jacks and Evangeline consume are different (Heavier, colorful apples and dragon-roasted apples), I think the statement still stands true.
On chapter 43, Jacks was cut off when he was telling Evangeline what she smelled like.
"You smell like fear and—"
I believe this is along the lines of "apples" or "True Love." Maybe I'm reaching but it's a thought, right?
@amani8907 was quick to point out that Jacks's blood had tasted sweet to Evangeline that she wanted to lick it. When it came to Tella, she had said that Jacks's blood had tasted bitter to her. The opposite of sweet.
Speaking of licking, I cannot ignore the steamy crypt scene where Jacks was licking Evangeline's neck. You know, Jacks confuses me a lot, but I have evidence that Jacks had wanted to kiss her in that moment!
On chapter 46, Evangeline thought back to when Jacks held her.
An enemy wouldn't have held her quite so close or tasted her neck the way Jacks had. Evangeline knew he'd wanted to bite her, but his tongue on her neck hadn't been just about biting.
I'll die on this hill that he wanted to kiss her, YOU HEAR ME!
If this doesn't mean they're not each other's true love, then I don't know what is.
One last thing: Telepathic Connection 👀🧶
Evangeline and Jacks can talk. In each other's minds and hear their thoughts. One can dismiss it as it being deal-with-a-Fate perks, but this was never the case with Tella. Evangeline first began hearing him at Nocte Neverending, when she thought Apollo was approaching her (he eventually does) and then Jacks had told her pity wasn't a good look on her. But she dismissed this.
Then she heard him again when she was strapped to a chair with overwhelming tears crawling down her face. Jacks had tried to manipulate her feelings (it didn't work) to make her stop crying.
Evangeline brought this up to his attention, to which Jacks responded with a shocked expression. As if she wasn't supposed to hear him in the first place. I mean, isn't that the reaction we'd have if someone just happened to hear our thoughts? I'll be surprised, too! 😅
Anyhow, this is soulmate material! One True Love perks! Jacks couldn't hear Tella's thoughts, and though he could enter her dreams, Legend had that ability, too! So, this telepathic connection is limited to EvaJacks 🦊🍎💗
And they used to communicate in the proximity of each other but now at the end of the book, when they were far apart, they still were able to communicate telepathically AHHHHH
In conclusion:
It's no question EvaJacks will be endgame, but I like to go through the clues. And it's also quite telling and enduring that Jacks calls Evangeline "Little Fox" 🦊. He says it so much that Evangeline even left a note for him and ended it with "Little Fox." Now THAT'S adorable 💗💗💗
I keep thinking of other ways Jacks and Evangeline can kiss (without killing her of course. Which isn't really a problem since Evangeline is Jacks's weakness. BUT JUST TO BE SAFE LOL).
So, this comment made by Jordan Gray gave me the impression that something 🌶🌶🌶 might happen.
I have some thoughts 👀
Caution: This post may involve mature topics. I never go into details but to be sure I want to make things clear that I'm going to discuss possible 🌶🌶🌶 scenes.
Basing it on the Caraval trilogy, Stephanie Garber writes the romance/romantic scenes with just the right balance. Not too boring but not too raunchy.
In Once Upon A Broken Heart, there was the crypt scene that involved almost biting, tender licking, and tight embraces.
Now for The Ballad of Never After, Stephanie Garber had teased about making her characters want to kiss or how to torture them.
Jacks and Evangeline know they can't kiss each other because Jacks's kiss could kill Evangeline. Buuuuuuuuuuuut this won't stop them.
Evangeline starts to fall for Jacks in OUABH. And though Evangeline and Jacks can't seem to stand each other, there's an attraction between them.
Jacks saves Evangeline. Evangeline saves Jacks. They're sort of in debt to each other.
Anyhow, their bickering and banter don't matter at this moment! Jacks will want to kiss Evangeline as his interest was awakened during the crypt scene.
And the same goes for Evangeline. She sees him as her enemy again, but her heart can't deny that she likes him. So, to kiss or not to kiss? That is the question.
Coming back to Jordan Gray's comment, I have some ideas 👀
All right, so obviously biting is a thing in Once Upon A Broken Heart.
Jacks bites Evangeline's wrist for their ideal. He left her three broken hearts.
Jacks reminds Evangeline he has already bit her. What a tease.
A vampire looks interested in Evangeline, so Jacks makes it clear that he's the only one allowed to bite her.
Not even a few seconds from this scene, Jacks nips Evangeline's ear.
In the crypt, Jacks is tempted to bite Evangeline and drink her blood. He even comes close to it but he withholds himself.
And I know this is an evajacks post but I can't help but think back to Tella and Jacks. It's sort of interesting to point out that whenever Tella kisses Jacks, she bites him. And likewise.
Although I'm unsure whether that if it's her habit or Jacks's. I'm inclined to believe it's the latter because of how much biting is a thing in OUABH.
I think before THE REAL KISS Evangeline and Jacks will have possibly near kisses (kisses where they lean in but don't close the distance) or substituted kisses (Finding creative ways to kiss so that they're not really touching lips).
Or even kisses on the hands or somewhere else that is not directly on the mouth. Like take this chapter from Legendary.
Jacks kissed Tella's hand and she didn't die. Or this kiss didn't really count. Which means that these sort of kisses are okay! 👍🏽
But Jacks is bold.
Sooooooooooo, I made out a few words from the comment because I can't help myself 😅
I am unwell. This is EXTREMELY HOT!!!!!!!!!! Do I have a new K*NK? SOMETHING SOMETHING didn't know this could sexier and SOMETHING SOMETHING YES!
My guess, something to do with biting. Like this.
Or Evangeline can do some biting, too! 👀
To be quite honest, I'd be shocked to read something 🌶 because Caraval has proven to me that it doesn't escalate to those levels. Although the scene with Legend and Tella in Finale came close lol and the scene with Jacks and Tella during the blood exchange.
But I do admit, it fits with Jacks's sensual allure. He's seductive, charming, and extremely comfortable.
He even made this comment for crying out loud 😅👏👀
So, I shouldn't be surprised if something 🌶 does happen. Jacks and Evangeline want each other. He may even be more jealous now that Evangeline made his heart beat.
I'm excited to discover how they go from enemies to lovers.
Soft Headcanons 🥺🍬
After Jacks and Evangeline are endgame, I thought of some things that I believe could be true.
Jacks is a romantic. He'll take Evangeline on dates all the time. Maybe sing a song for her.
Evangeline imagined her wedding simple. Wanting her vows written on her hand so that when they touch each other's hearts, the vows will infuse into their souls.
Update: She didn't know it was a wedding until she read the words on the drawing.
Jacks is into this idea, too. So, they'll have an intimate wedding. Isn't this a cute idea?
He'll gift her all of his The Ballad of the Archer and the Fox editions.
They'd live somewhere else that is not Valenda or the Magnificent North.
Anyway, this was a fun post. I hope Evangeline teases the heck out of Jacks. It's no fair if he does all the teasing 😅❤
Last year, in this month, we got the first reaction to the first 100 pages of TBONA (featuring Kerri Maniscalco's comments!) 🥳
I don't know if we'll get the same kind of tease this month, but if we're going by TBONA's schedule, then we'll most likely get the third book's title next month!
The Ballad of Never After is now released! I'm soooo excited to be able to talk about this freely.
As a warning, I've decided to wait until September 24 to start posting again. I'll tag them as #/tbona spoiler and make sure to write them on the posts as well.
