denton reviewed Misrule by Heather Walter (Malice Duology, #2)
Review of 'Misrule' on 'Goodreads'
3 stars
3.5
MILD SPOILER
I wish the ending had been more obviously happy. It ends on a positive hopeful note but I'm a sucker for clear happy endings. After the ending of Malice, I was really holding out for a happy happy ending. I suppose I will just have to suck it up and make up a post ending happy reunion in my head.
Edit ok I rated it 4 initially but couldn't get over the ending. Especially the part where they both had taken other lovers at some point(s) through those 100 years. Was that necessary? Was it just to show more growth? We've seen them grow already. I personally just would've preferred them to have faith in their love and eventual reunion. I mean, Alyce already went through 100 years being celibate, what's another 100 more?
