A curse of malice and mercy is a strange phenomenon that occurs when an individual possesses the power to inflict harm upon others, but also has the compassion to show mercy and forgiveness. It is a curse because it creates a constant internal conflict within the person, torn between their desire for revenge and their innate goodness and empathy. Those who are cursed with malice and mercy often find themselves in turmoil, torn between seeking justice and wanting to extend forgiveness. They have the power to cause immense harm, yet they also possess the ability to forgive and show compassion. This creates a dilemma as they struggle to balance their desires for retribution with their desire to be benevolent. The curse of malice and mercy can be seen as a double-edged sword.
As their fates intertwine, can Alessia overlook Rainer’s dark past and overcome their differences? Or will Rainer crush his little rose in his fist?

A Curse of Malice & Mercy by Miranda Joy
Dreams are the dawn for everything good in the world…
Alessia is a dreamer. To protect her heart from growing hard, she chooses to see the best in others. After a life of enslavement and losing her only friend, she flees to the fae realm of Avylon, desperate for freedom. There, she meets Rainer, an enigmatic fae prince who is as enticing as he is unpredictable. He claims to detest humans, yet he teaches her how to fight, protects her, and empowers her. She can’t help but fall for him, even when his moods become increasingly volatile and it’s clear he’s hiding something dangerous.
She’s his little rose with buds so beautiful and thorns so fatal…
The only thing Rainer hates more than humans is the curse he was born with. The one that flows through his veins and leaks into the surrounding forest. He’s dangerous, undeserving, and wears his reputation like armor. But when he meets Alessia, his perception shifts. If he’s malice, she’s his mercy. He needs to stay away, but it’s impossible to fight the temptation between them.
As their fates intertwine, can Alessia overlook Rainer’s dark past and overcome their differences? Or will Rainer crush his little rose in his fist?

One of the main challenges for those cursed with malice and mercy is finding a way to navigate this internal conflict. They must find a balance between seeking justice and forgiveness, between using their power for good and not succumbing to the temptation to harm others in their quest for vengeance.

It highlights the struggle we all face in our lives to choose between our desires for revenge and our ability to show mercy and compassion. While it may be a challenging curse to bear, it also presents an opportunity for growth and self-reflection. Those who are able to overcome this curse can emerge as beacons of empathy, forgiveness, and understanding in a world often filled with malice..

The author attempted to create suspense, but it instead became tedious and predictable. The development of the characters was also lacking, leaving me uninvested in their fates. Overall, I was left feeling unsatisfied and disappointed by this novel.
