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.
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. 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.
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. This is easier said than done. A traitor walks the halls of the palace, and deception lurks in every corner. 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.
I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.
Oh my word! I read the synopsis of Grace and Fury and I thought it sounded good, but nothing prepared me for the greatness that is Grace and Fury.
The beginning was a bit slow and hard for me just because I’m not used to reading stories in third person, but I could feel the goodness bubbling under the surface if I just stuck with it. Grace and Fury was like The Hunger Games meets The Bachelor and it’s I was sucked in I couldn’t put it down.
There were so many moving parts and different pawns were in play that I don’t know how Tracy Banghart was able to keep it all straight! I initially thought that I would favor Nomi, the rebellious sister over her counterpart, Serina, but Serina turned out to be a total bad ass! I was seriously surprised and charmed by her growth and becoming tough as nails and standing up for what she believes.
Both Serina and Nomi were thrust into situations that were the complete opposite of what they were essentially groomed for and it was awe inspiring to see them go to great lengths to get back to each other and right the oppressive situation that not only them, but all women living.
Grace and Fury is an empowering tale or bold sisters who took risks in a time when no one else would. The story is filled with cloak and dagger moments and clandestine meetings. Grab this story and experience the brilliance of Tracy Banghart!
