About the Book
From New York Times bestselling author Holly Black comes a captivating original novel set between Disney's Maleficent and Maleficent: Mistress of Evil, in which newly-queened Aurora struggles to be the best leader to both the humans and Fair Folk under her reign; her beau, Prince Phillip, longs to get to know Aurora and her kingdom better; and Maleficent has trouble letting go of the past.
My Take on the Book
My daughter and I are fans of Maleficent so we were excited to read this book. The book was a little slow to start but as it got going it got better! One of the things that was unique for this book was seeing things through Maleficent's point of view which was a great way to be able to better understand how she thought and why she does what she does. The book is not all in her perspective, but there are also some mini-chapters from other characters so you get to understand other characters too. As you get into the book the plot was solid. There were several plot threads to keep track of, but the author uses good detail to help you keep track of everything. The book moves along quickly and you will read from chapter to chapter and you will not want to put it down - or at least I know I didn't! All-in-all a strong book altogether!
