Del Rey Malice: A Novel

I’m a huge fan of fairy tale retellings and this book didn’t disappoint. Even though I know the story of sleeping beauty there was enough plot twists and differences in this that I didn’t know what was going to happen next. Absolutely loved it!!

Nach der ersten Bestellung kam das Buch beschädigt (zerkratzt,Ecken defekt). Heute kam die Ersatzlieferung an, die ebenfalls beschädigt kam (siehe Bilder). Lieferung geht zurück und wird woanders „Neu“ bestellt.

I loved this book! The beauty and the beast/sleeping beauty retelling was done amazingly and I could not have expected more out of this book. I literally can’t wait for the sequel to be released

nice book, no rips and came in good shape, and it was nicely packaged

This book was perfection on every page. From the very beginning I knew I was going to love it, and by the end I knew it was destined to be an all-time favorite. The wait for the sequel is going to be a torment!The world the author created is filled with magic, but it's all so believable that it feels like a place that might really exist. I loved reading about the primary queendom of Briar and its place in the world. I enjoyed learning its history alongside main character Alyce, and trying to discern fact from fiction as she sorted through the lies to find the truth about where she came from.The city felt like a living place, where you came to know shopkeepers by name and learned the routes in, out, and around town. You learned your way around the palace, from the gardens to the servants' passageways, and the secret places hidden just outside of the city that led to the seashore.All the characters felt real. They each had distinct personalities, their own motivations, and secrets you slowly uncover as you dig deeper into the story. Reading through the book I felt suspicious of everyone and worried for Alyce's heart like she was my own friend.The romance takes a realistic time to build, and you find yourself having the same misgivings as Alyce as you read, wondering if Aurora is all that she seems.The ending is explosive and really leaves you craving more. If you're looking for an engrossing read that can transport you to another place, this is it.
