I see other Goodreads reviews that were unhappy with where the story went, but I think it was inevitable when you consider the source material. The last chunk of the book is explosive, moving the story forward at a sprint. The first 80% of the book moved quite slowly–it’s essentially a training montage of Alyce discovering her true powers and building them, as well as starting a friendship with Aurora. This is an adult fantasy book, but the characters are in their late teens/early twenties, so it would appeal to YA readers as a crossover book as well.Īlthough I was intrigued by the premise, and I think this will appeal to a lot of readers, it didn’t quite land with me. This is a premise that I know a lot of Lesbrary readers will be excited about! It’s a duology, and this volume is mostly setting about Alyce’s journey to becoming the character we’re used to from the original story. Malice is an F/F retelling of “Sleeping Beauty” with a Malificent/Aurora romance, and Malificent (“Alyce,” in this case) as the main character.
