The story unfolded so well as a standalone book, making this a fun fairytale read, whether you’ve seen the movie or not. Maleficent just as unhappy about the upcoming nuptials, but is willing to try her hardest for the sake of Aurora’s happiness. She is not at all impressed by the news her son intends to marry Aurora and sets out to use their pending marriage as a way to pull off her own plans. In this book, Queen Ingrith is a cold character, prejudiced against the folk of the Moor in all their forms and unwilling to entertain the idea of them living in peace. As an aside, the stunning cover, with the spot gloss damask background, is also a beautiful edition to my shelf!
I absolutely love fairytales focusing on the villains side of things, especially when we get to experience the glimpses behind why they are the way they are. I know the story of Sleeping Beauty, but I haven’t actually got around to watching Maleficent yet, however that didn’t affect my enjoyment of this book. Thank you so much to Scholastic Australia for sending me a copy of Maleficent, in exchange for an honest review! This sequel explores the complex relationship between the horned fairy and Princess Aurora, as they face new threats to the magical land of the Fair Folk.
This visually stunning live action film continues the fantasy adventure started in the “origin” story of Maleficent.
