I've struggled with the whispers my entire life. The people that would say she's cursed and yet they had no idea what the curse really is. At thirty-two years of age, something happens that changes my entire life. Mal made that happen and when she tells me the truth, I can barely believe my ears. When the time comes to make my decision of where I will end up, will I make the right one, or be doomed to a life in a castle I hate with the people that hate me?
4 stars. ‘Sleeping Beauty’ retelling and I really liked it! Mal curses Arla with magic as a baby and they reunite on Arla’s 32nd birthday and teaches her how to wield her magic. I thought it was fun and sexy and left me wanting more by the end.
I like the different take on Maleficent and Aurora, with the spice as a bonus. My only thing was that I wish Mal was fleshed out a little more and the timeline for everything was very quick so it made Arl seem like didn’t have deep feelings and thoughts.
