A review by cmhall
Malice by Heather Walter

Viciously enchanting, Malice is an immersive and imaginative retelling of the Sleeping Beauty tale. The aesthetic was everything, and I loved how vivid the storytelling was. Although I was screaming DON’T DO THAT!!! at Alyce the entire last 20% of the book, I can understand why she needed to do what she did in the end from a character arc perspective. I didn't realize this was the first half of a duology until the very end, so you can imagine how shocked I was at the cliffhanger. I think this will be one of those cases where I won't truly know how I feel about the story until I read the final conclusion.
