I really did quite love this book! My only qualm being that I felt Mortania could have been used more effectively (maybe this is just me wishing it were a trilogy). The ending of Malice with her got me so pumped up and then she was just kind of an afterthought more so throughout this (I thought). Still loved the book! It got me all anxious not knowing what was gunna happen. So many times I had to stop myself from jumping to the end. But THE END. It was very good. Those are my favourite types of endings 
the ones where it kind of leaves things up to interpretation and leaves it bittersweet. They love one another and they want each other to be happy but they are not sure if it’s with each other. It’s very realistic, especially after everything that happened at the end of Malice. It’s the 100 years later (TWICE) that messed me up because that’s so much time apart for them I almost started to cry

I liked it.

I was so glad Heather Walter didn't have Aurora and Alyce immediate resume their relationship.  There needed to be real consequences for everything that happened at the end of Malice.  Even if Aurora could somehow get past the murder of almost everyone she knew and the destruction of her home, Alyce leaving her sleeping for 100 years when she knew she could be could wake with a single kiss from someone else is unbelievably selfish and cruel.  (And would also ensure in the normal course of things that everyone Aurora knew probably would have died of old age).

I like that they had to rebuild trust and that they also had to spend time apart and figure out who they were before they could think about maybe trying to be together again.

I'm also glad Callow lived!


I'd really like to see more books from this author.

Did I finish this book in a day…yes! Couldn’t put it down!! 

Set 100 years after Malice. Alice is trying to free Aurora from the curse and sets up a home for the creatures like her who have been left with out a home. She comes to learn that there are two sides to every story and the truth is usually somewhere in between. This story has is all epic battle, love, heartbreak, and finding your self worth.
