Malice by Heather Walter

2.25

---

I liked the premise of this retelling. It sounded soild but for me it just wasn't working. Nothing really happened until maybe the last 20-25% of the book. And because of that you're able to figure out really quickly how everything with play out. There was a lot of the same things happening but  said differently. The two main characters didn't have a lot of interactions for most of the book so when their "romance" started it didn't feel like much was there. Not really insta love since time did pass but just wasn't time spent for a true connection to form.

I think Aurora said it as some point, that they mostly taked about the curse and that's basically it.

. And I also found myself not really caring about these characters or what happens to them. 

Few things I liked were, the premise, some of the magic and that it was wlw. 

I probably should've dnf'ed but I guess it's was expecting it to pickup at some point but it never did.
