royahellbender 's review for:
Malice
by Heather Walter
I felt like this book was trying too hard to let go of being Sleeping Beauty with the “villain” ending up with the princess, and should have at some point in the writing process pivoted to being just a fantasy. The unique aspects of this book were the few parts that had nothing to do with Sleeping Beauty, and the whole idea of being a Sleeping Beauty retelling and using things we know from Sleeping Beauty (ie the kingdom being called Briar) didn’t serve the story at all.
