Review:
Malice is a
unique take on sleeping beauty that was highly compelling.
In Malice,
Alyce is known as the dark grace. unlike the other Grace's her blood is green;
she is unattractive, and her powers cause curses instead of enchantments and
enhancements, making her of ill repute. Tired of feeling powerless and afraid,
Alyce starts to explore her magic with the help of a mentor, an imprisoned
shifter named Kal. While honing her abilities, she falls for Aurora, the cursed
princess of Briar.
I found the
world-building interesting and intriguing, as well as in-depth. The history behind
the Vila was fascinating, and having Aurora start off with a generational curse
was a unique twist.
I loved the
romance between Aurora and Alyce. There's so much tension and yearning. I also
felt for Aurora as much as I did for Alyce.
This
fantastic classical fantasy fairytale reimagining is a must-read for fans of
sapphic love and classic fairytales.
