Malice by Heather Walter
5.0

The sleeping beauty retold with a sapphic twist? Sign me the fuck up.

This book was everything I wanted it to be, and more. This book was filled with sentences crafted together in such immensely beautiful ways and they came together to tell an even more beautiful and worthy tale. I have been having trouble finding w/w books with graceful plots — but this book was everything I could possibly wish for.

When Aurora's tale was spun in ways I never imagined, and she fell in love with someone who they told was a demon, and fought with her for what was rightfully hers, I never knew how much I needed this, until now. My expectations soared when I read the premise, and I was afraid the book wouldn't live up to them, but it turns out that couldn't be further from the truth and I am as glad as I can be.

This book was everything. I am not kidding.
