I truly liked how Malice was a totally new interpretation of the original story of Sleeping Beauty. despite the slow beginning, Walter still exhibits a superb writing style in her novel. I liked the way the writer balanced all these things. It took me a couple of chapters to understand Walter’s writing and structure, but everything soon became alright. ![]() The story truly began to develop, and chapters picked up the pace. I will say this unquestionably improved all through the novel. It seemed like it might have been normally presented better instead of verging on info dumping. This may be on the grounds that there was such a lot of dense background information and history tossed in for the set up. The start of this book was certainly slow, and I got myself not liking the writing. Malice By Heather Walter (An Amazing Fantasy Book) ![]()

I do understand the author wanted to transition from the unresolved sexual tension between Adam and Mercy to having them in a "mated" relationship however, that transition seemed almost as forced as the annoying "is-it-Adam-or-Samuel-or-Stefan" dynamic that had been playing out for the first three books. I am REALLY hoping the next novel in the series is better, though, and the characters are more on track with what I've come to expect.My major complaint is the characterization of Adam, and the development of the relationship between Adam and Mercy.
