Misrule
by Heather Walter
DID NOT FINISH: 62%
Stopped at ch. 30
I tried pushing through since I enjoyed the first book so much, but I wasn't invested in this sequel. It was fun seeing new characters and all, but I only really cared for Reagan (I listened to the audiobook so might spell the names wrong btw). I kinda wished Alyce would get with her since she understood Alyce much better than Aurora (especially keeping in mind Alyce and Aurora knew eachother for like 1 year before the curse, and Reagan has now known Alyce for 100+ years).
I would have thought Alyce would have evolved (at all) in the past century, but she didn't really get past her more childish ways of thinking/acting, which was unfortunate.
I don't really like Aurora either, more in this book than the last. The audacity it takes to be away from a kindgom for a century (curse, but still counts) and yet having the audacity to expect people to immediately bow down to her as queen was insane to me. She was just so self-centered and never listened to why Alyce did what she did (ok I will admit it was a bit much at times, but she did follow the example of the last ruler/other human rulers in the more gruesome practices so you can't be mad at her and not the other, you know?). She did have genuine reasons to do most things tho, for helping others of her kind (and other kinds that allied with her).
