A review by books_r_cool
Malice by Heather Walter
dark
emotional
i really enjoyed reading this book because of the amazing magic system and just the magical vibes it was so atmospheric at times.
and then the plot was so good like it had me hooked the whole time!! the first half of the book was sort of introductory to the world and everything but things still happened BUT THEN the last 30% was wilddd i read it in one sitting and it was just thing after thing happening to alyce. it had twists and betrayals and left me shocked. there wasn’t a cliffhanger per say, but it just ended in so much chaos and destruction it was wild and i loved it.
the whole story wove a wonderful narration around ‘good and evil’ and the complexities of that and i really felt for alyce. i will say, something i didn’t love was in the first half of the book there wasn’t much chemistry between alyce and aurora and aurora’s character felt too perfect but then as the story progressed it was fine.
the ending?!? i loved alyce’s descent into the ‘evilness’ that was perceived of her and that was when you saw the sleeping beauty aspects come in. it was just so inevitable but terrible because alyce wasn’t actually a bad person, she just had dark magic.
anyways i could talk about this for a longg time but this book was really good and i love ya fantasy (i’m defs going to read the second book)
