Thank you to Ballantine Del Rey and NetGalley for the gifted ebook of Malice!  All opinions in this review are my own.

In this queer retelling of Sleeping Beauty, what if it's the "villian" that is able to break Aurora's curse?

Although it took a little while for me to get into, I ended up really enjoying Malice!  When I read retellings, I spend a lot of the time in the beginning looking for similarities to the original text.  Malice stands out from its original source material and the world that Walter has created should be explored with a new mind.  While Malice is a Sleeping Beauty retelling, it does go beyond the original fairy tale and I recommend trying not to compare the two.

I cannot wait for the second book in this duology!
