A fantastic and wonderfully gray sequel to Malice. The character development, world-building, and writing style are top notch. Everything in Misrule is in shades of gray. No character is all good or all bad, making for a morally complex world and story. Misrule is just as compelling and beautifully-written as Malice. This conclusion to the Duology does not disappoint.

Synopsis

Book 2 of 2: Malice

Did they break the curse, or begin one? Sleeping Beauty's dark sorceress reclaims her story in this sequel to Malice

The Dark Grace is dead.

Feared and despised for the sinister power in her veins, Alyce has spent 100 years wreaking her revenge on the kingdom that made her an outcast. Once a realm of decadence and beauty, Briar is now wholly Alyce's wicked domain. No one escapes the consequences of her wrath.

Not even the one person who holds her heart.

Princess Aurora saw through Alyce's thorny facade, earning a love that promised the dawn of a new age. But that love came with a heavy price: Aurora now sleeps under a curse that even Alyce's vast power cannot seem to break, and their dream of the world they would have built together is nothing but ash.

Alyce vows to do anything to wake the woman she loves, even if it means descending into the monster Briar believed her to be. But could Aurora ever love the villain Alyce has become?

Or is true love only for fairy tales?

Reviews

It’s been a long time since a series has effected me THIS much. I would even go as far to say not since I was fifteen a decade ago, making twilight my every last thought. I fully intend on making Alyce my entire personality.
Goodreads reviewer - ES
I love retelling of fairy tales, and Sleeping Beauty has always been my favorite, so when I saw Malice and Misrule by Heather Walter, I knew I would be reading them… especially since the “bad guy” is always so much more interesting than the princess. And Walter did not disappoint in either of the books.
