Mirror of Malice by Tee Harlowe
4.0
I’m a sucker for a fairytale retelling, and Mirror of Malice is a fun, clever mix of Snow White and Robin Hood. It’s a quick and easy to read fantasy romance with a slow burn, enemies to lovers, forced proximity, humor, secrets, and political and magical intrigue.
I struggled to like Liliath, the FMC, in the beginning. She came across as judgmental, a little snooty, and pretty much willfully naive. However, despite her shortcomings, she truly desired to be the queen her court needed and never wavered in her commitment to help her people. As Liliath was forced to face more and more hard truths, she realized the errors she had made. Her character growth was hard earned, and she won me over.
Whereas it took me some time to root for Liliath, I loved Penn, the MMC, pretty much from the start. He was broody and gruff, but Liliath brought out a lighter, more playful side of him. He was brave, protective, and delightfully morally grey, and his unfailing belief in his “Lilypad” was seriously swoon worthy.
The spice is pretty light (
