GRACE & FURY wasn’t the most unique YA fantasy/dystopian novel that I’ve read, but as we’ve seen with novels such as ASH PRINCESS, that doesn’t always matter.
I love some feminist YA fantasy, so was pleased to get approved for this ARC (as well as receive a gorgeous hardback of the UK edition in the June 2018 FairyLoot!).
But Serina is running out of time, imprisoned on an island where she must fight to the death to survive and one wrong move could cost her everything. A traitor walks the halls of the palace, and deception lurks in every corner. Now trapped in a life she never wanted, Nomi has only one way to save Serina: surrender to her role as a Grace until she can use her position to release her sister. But when her headstrong and rebellious younger sister, Nomi, catches the heir’s eye, it’s Serina who takes the fall for the dangerous secret that Nomi has been hiding. Serina has been groomed her whole life to become a Grace–someone to stand by the heir to the throne as a shining, subjugated example of the perfect woman. In a world where women have no rights, sisters Serina and Nomi Tessaro face two very different fates: one in the palace, the other in prison. I also got an exclusive UK hardcover edition from FairyLoot!
How I read it: I received a free ARC from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Publisher: Hodder Children’s Books (UK), Little, Brown Books for Young Readers (USA)
