lauraajones 's review for:
Malice
by Heather Walter
This book was very very good, in fact, probably the best fantasy book I’ve read in a long time. It’s a retelling of Sleeping Beauty but with two queer women as the protagonists. Aurora falls in love with the wicked witch.
I don’t always get into high fantasy but the world building in this book was done beautifully. It was long and there was a lot to take it but I still wanted to keep reading, which is a very good sign.
I went into this expecting primarily a love story and it is but also isn’t. It’s a story about finding power within yourself and taking back what was stolen from you. It’s a villains origin story and I loved that.
4.5 stars rounded up, very much looking forward to the second book.
