A sapphic retelling of sleeping beauty where the princess falls in love with the evil sorceress? SIGN ME THE HELL UP. The moment I read the premise I was so so excited to read this book. I was lucky enough to snag an arc and I was not disappointed. This was such a great and really fun retelling. The story revolves around Alyce, a Dark Grace, graces being half fae who can bestow gifts such as beauty, wisdom, or in Alyce’s case.... darker gifts. Alyce is half Vil, and the last of her kind, making her the most hated and feared amongst the Graces. However, one day she meets Princess Aurora... and they both find that they are both prisoners in their cages and find solace in each other. The romance was great and I was rotting for Alyce the entire time. Everybody just takes from her and treats her like absolute garbage and when she finally finds out the true extent of her gifts and what it truly means to be part Vila, I was so amped. The story was great and honestly I would highly recommend this for anyone who loves an interesting romance fantasy book or a fairytale retelling with a twist. The ending had me begging for more and I would honestly love a sequel to see where Alyce goes and what happens with Aurora... seriously please give me more Heater Walter.
