Maledicte | Muddled Ramblings and Half-Baked Ideas
As children, Miranda and Janus share a ring with the inscription "Only each other at the last. Definitely Ani, but the others don't seem to do much good either. Gilly worries that he will go down this path as well. Vornatti and Mal share an encyclopedic knowledge of poisons, notwithstanding that Mal prefers using his sword. From Miranda to "Maledicte," which is quite apt, given Mal's infamously sharp tongue. King Aris advises Janus to treat Mal like one. Gilly's parents sold him to Vornatti when he was fourteen. Sweet on Polly Oliver: Played straight, although Maledicte puts more effort into the transformation than most Polly Olivers.

For example, he wears a waist-bulking, breast-binding corset and uses poison to lower his voice. Son of a Whore: Janus's family makes it almost impossible for Miranda to find him, and later for Janus and Mal to live as a couple. Gilly's attraction to Maledicte whom he thinks is a man confuses him. Maledicte believes that there is nothing she wouldn't do to get Janus back and keep him.

Until Janus turns on Gilly. Janus proves his own willingness to sacrifice their relationship, several innocent lives, and Mal's freedom in order to attain political power.
Took a Level in Badass: At the story's beginning, Miranda is a clever street rat capable of taking on drunken sailors. After a little training, Maledicte is the court's most dangerous swordsman and probably its second-best poisoner, not to mention able to turn into a cloud of birds and fly. Dantalion performs one on Amarantha after her carriage crashes.

Mal starts off as a very dark antihero and evolves into this. Janus calls Maledicte out for this when Mal pushes him to speed up a plan so that they won't need to dirty their hands with infanticide. As Janus points out, Mal has already committed infanticide, as Amarantha's advanced pregnancy was the only reason to kill her.

The most likable character is easily Gilly, who is generally good but still far from perfect. Gilly loves Maledicte but tells him he will not kill for him, yet he often finds himself committing actions he disagrees with morally in order to protect Maledicte. Janus also hates Gilly because of his feelings toward Maledicte and would kill him if not for the fact that it would displease Maledicte, which makes him seem even more despicable.
Even though I enjoy reading about anti-heroes, I found I had real empathy for Gilly and liked reading about him the most.

The plot, court intrigue, and character relationships were very uncomplicated, making this an easy and fun book to read. The writing style is more convoluted, bordering on what many would refer to as purple prose, but I did not think it was excessive of course, I like more verbose writing as long as it is not to the point of being so descriptive it is boring. The perspective is always third person, although whose perspective it is changes often.
At times, it is Gilly, occasionally it is Maledicte himself or the king or even for a short time that of Kritos, the man who actually stole Janus away from Maledicte by order of the earl. Some may find this distracting but it did not bother me at all. At times, I did find myself questioning character actions. Why would the baron take in an intruder who just appears in his home one night?
