4.0

A reimagining of the story between Maleficent and Aurora that really leaves the reader questioning who to trust.

Alyce is a really interesting character, I did wish a little more from Aurora and their interactions. A lot seemed glazed over - as to why it didn't quite reach its full 5 star potential.

But I really enjoyed Alyce's story, the journey she takes and how her character devolves. Looking forward to reading the sequel in the future.

Fans of twisted fairytale retellings that focus on the 'villain' and their lives, sapphic romances and dark betrayals will enjoy this book!
