Review\nThe Spell is a work of fiction in the fantasy, fairy tale, and suspense 
sub-genres, and was penned by author C. V. Shaw. Taking the 
classic atmosphere of fairy tales and giving them a dark and 
thrilling twist, we find ourselves in the kingdom of Fleurham where 
King Maurice and Queen Lilac each have their own agendas to try to 
control the kingdom and save their daughter. Isabella, the princess 
in question, lives amongst this power play as a terrible curse 
plagues every day of her life. What results is a fantastic adventure 
mixing sixteenth-century English history with lavish magic and 
interpersonal drama. 
Author C. V. Shaw has crafted a truly fantastic tale that will surely 
please fans of fantasy, fairy tale, and romantic suspense genres, 
and it packs a whole lot of passionate punches for a debut novel. 
One of the things which I really adored throughout was the building 
of atmosphere and the way that the mood shifted with the depiction 
of different scenes and how the characters physically reacted to 
what was happening to them. It gives a strong sense of immersion 
where you can be in the character's head and emote with them, 
and this connecting kept me rooting for Isabella in particular as the 
rest of the exciting plot unfolded. The dialogue too was excellently 
penned, smacking of authentic history and character realism. 
Overall, I would highly recommend The Spell to fantasy fans for its 
accomplished writing style, immersive worldbuilding, and fantastic 
characters.\n-K.C. Finn for Readers' Favorite\nThe Spell by C. V. Shaw is a unique and different kind of story. It 
has that grim fairy tale feel to it but on a more mature level. The 
characters were very interesting and fun to read. I especially liked 
Lilac and Isabella and their rocky relationship as mother and 
daughter. I was also surprised by some of the outcomes that 
occurred in the novel which kept me on my toes; something that is 
good to find in a book. It was quick-paced and straight to the point 
which captures readers' attention, making them want to read on. 
Overall, I think C.V. Shaw did an excellent job of telling a new type 
of fairy tale. I am eager to read more of their work.\n-Tiffany Ferrell for Readers' Favorite\nI found C. V. Shaw an intriguing author who writes about mysterious 
spells and healing plants. The Spell beautifully combines the 
author's hobbies and passion. The plot depicts a common theme, 
but the author weaves in intricate details of the characters, 
landscape, and mystical elements to construct an engaging 
storyline. The characters feature powerful personalities, allowing 
the reader to form an opinion of them. I like Isabella the most. The 
trials she faced make the reader bond with her misfortune. Overall, 
it disappointed me when the book ended. I wanted to read more 
about Isabella and her future. Hopefully, Shaw will delight us with 
more books in the fantasy genre. The cover of this book drew my 
attention, and I am glad I read it.\n-Peggy Jo Wipf for Readers' Favorite\nI personally really enjoyed The Spell! It was an extremely quick and 
easy read, and C. V. Shaw writes with grace and elegance. My 
favorite aspect of the novel was the development of the characters, 
and I loved reading about Isabella because her flaws made her 
someone that I could connect to. Overall, the plot was enjoyable 
and exciting, and it was easy to read large portions of this book in 
short amounts of time because I was able to get invested in the plot 
from the start. The cover of the book is what originally drew me in; I 
think that it is absolutely beautiful. This novel made for a great 
standalone, but I would also be curious to see more of the story in a 
sequel. I would definitely recommend checking out this book if you 
are a fan of the fantasy genre!\n-Rylanne Burdette for Readers' Favorite\nIt has a nice worldbuilding 
and readers get drawn into this fantasy world without 
effort. It's unexpectedly fast-paced and unputdownable. Fantasy 
worlds usually take some time to d
