I really loved this book it will lead well into the movie when I finally get to see it. I really liked the characters especially Aurora and Maleficent they are so wonderfully written with Aurora being a young Queen trying to get two sides to get along and make peace and I really liked how true to the character Maleficent was being wicked in her own ways and loving Aurora with a fierce bit of protectiveness. I really liked the slow romance between Aurora and Phillip it was gradual as it should be love needs time to grow it does not happen in a day. I loved the plot of this book it started with Aurora trying to get her people humans that is to see eye to eye and get along peacefully with the faire folk of the Moors. Some things happen and I really loved how this will lead into the film that I will watch sometime soon. So overall I really loved this book and I will always read books by Holly Black.
