Malice by Pintip Dunn5/9/2023 ![]() The characters for the most part felt like characters. So does the way the story was laid out, with Alice being pulled in different directions by the voice and her own feelings and fears, but it does so while laying out a solid path to who the virus maker might be and building layers of characterization for most of the cast. The concept is interesting, the idea of a sort of indirect time travel and the implications of that fascinate me. There is a lot to recommend Pintip Dunn’s Malice. Is there anything that she can do to save the future outside of the voice’s orders? And why is it so insistent that she avoid one specific boy? But the voice’s orders often feel contradictory or nonsensical and Alice finds herself questioning if following its orders is really the best way to save the future. A voice that charges her with finding out who this person is and stopping them before it is too late. A voice that would go on to inform her that one of the students at her school is the creator of a virus that, in her time, has killed all but a third of the human population. ![]() ![]() In a shattering flash of electricity Alice was visited by a voice claiming to be from the future. ![]()
