Grace and Fury
Grace and Fury | Tracy E Banghart
Bold, brutal, and beautiful--a must-read fantasy full of fierce sisterhood, action, and political intrigue for fans of The Selection series, Caraval, and The Handmaid's Tale.Serina Tessaro 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. It's her chance to secure a better life for her family, and to keep her headstrong and rebellious younger sister, Nomi, out of trouble. But when Nomi catches the Heir's eye instead, Serina is the one who takes the fall for the dangerous secret her sister has been hiding.Trapped in a life she never wanted, Nomi has only one option: surrender to her role as a Grace until she can use her position to save Serina. But this is easier said than done.... A traitor walks the halls of the palazzo, and deception lurks in every corner.Meanwhile Serina is running out of time. Imprisoned on an island where she must fight to the death to survive, surrounded by women stronger than she is, one wrong move could cost her everything. There is no room for weakness on Mount Ruin, especially weaknesses of the heart.Thrilling and captivating, Grace and Fury is a story of fierce sisterhood, and of survival in a world that's determined to break you.

This YA book had some positive qualities but in the end I can only give it a so-so. It felt rushed, and while the sisters were dramatically different people and personalities, there was no distinction in their voice as the story was told from their alternating viewpoints.

I'm not quite sure how I feel about this book. I got super invested at the end of the book but it was a little slow in the beginning. #owlcratebook

I choose pick even though the book was kind of dull in the beginning but it really did hold up.

This was...okay. Not terrible but also not that notable among YA fantasy. I did like that the worldbuilding & backstory was simpler & not 50 layers of convoluted BS. But somehow the chapters w/Serina were kinda boring even tho you have ppl fighting to the death (a trope I‘m tired of TBH), & Nomi is supposed to be smart & yet didn‘t see the most obvious “twist” ever. Will wait to see what others think of the next one, I might still try it. 2/5 ⭐️

TBH I‘m not expecting much from this one. I got it in an Owlcrate box last year and it‘s not something I would have picked up on my own because it sounds a bit formulaic. But hopefully it‘ll at least be a fun fast read! (And apparently even though plenty of people I follow are posting just fine, Litsy doesn‘t want me to add an image. Which is annoying because the Owlcrate exclusive cover is really cool! 😠)

One of those books that needs a silly tagline, like “Cinderella meets the Hunger Games“ or something. I knew Nomi would be named Grace while Serina was demoted to handmaiden. Inevitable. I didn't expect Serina's literally fighting to survive her island prison. Nor did I expect the themes of sisterhood & the ways women adapt to survive. I foresaw some twists, but overall a fun way to explore the different faces women wear. Excited for the next.

NAM99 Character‘s name is Nomi?! 5y

This book was shallow, almost no world building, the characters were very bland and the world was just this ugh place where women had no rights at all.

Finished 12/31/18. I would give this 4 stars. I like the dual POVs and how each girl had their lives turned upside down and had to learn how to survive and cope in that new element, and ultimately find how to be and how to change either for the worst or better. The reason I docked a star was because I felt like Nomi didn‘t have that much growth and was a bit annoying.

YA dystopian fiction has become a genre with its own tropes and cliches in the last few years. Initially I didn‘t think I would like this because it used ALL of the typical tropes of this subgenre, but I ended up getting really into it. It‘s well written and the characters are believable, likeable, and multi faceted. Looking forward to the sequel.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5 You know you are reading an awesome book when you are half way through and already wonder if/when the second book in the series will be available. This book has me on the edge of my seat and constantly trying to guess what would happen next. While some twists were predictable, others were not. Needless to say, I cannot wait for book #2 to come out.

✨I didn't think I'd like this at all, and while it's definitely not one of my favorites, I did really enjoy it towards the end and will probably read the next one. It's empowering and actually pretty relevant towards today's society. 📚

Just finished this yesterday, and I have to say that I‘m surprised at how much I came to like it. From what I‘d heard about it my expectations weren‘t exactly skyrocketing. But I did, I liked it. I got the impression it would be a very girly, one dimensional endeavour, BUT:

It‘s family bonds.
It‘s desperately survinig a new an vulnerable position in a world of political power games.
It‘s a feministic rebellion against a patriarcal tyranny.

This straddles somewhere between a 3 and 3.5 stars which may seem low but it honestly wasn't terrible and I'm definitely going to pick up the sequel. I loved the message and plot. My real hold back is that I...who am blindsided by EVERY movie and book plot twist could see the ending coming since the first page! I kept screaming at the one girl being like "HOW ARE YOU SO STUPID?!"

Anyway, very curious about the sequel after that ending.

Melismatic Same! I kept hoping I wasn‘t gonna be right...but I still was. 6y

4⭐'s. This was so good! I didn't know what to expect when I started it, it's set in a time where women are lesser and but allowed to do anything they want. They can't even read. These 2 sisters might change everything though.

I got a very The Selection vibe from the beginning from this book but it very quickly takes a different turn. I loved Nomi right from the beginning, she is a wild free spirit, without a doubt! and Serina, I grew to love her as she came out of her perfect little shell. I really enjoyed this book and loved the storyline and how Tracy built it. I was absorbed instantly!

received this in my August #OwlCrate delivery. Reviews painted it as Game of Thrones meets Handmaids Tale through a YA lens and I think that‘s fair.
Overall, I became much more invested in the future of these sisters (esp Serina) than I expected to be, although I wish more of Nomi‘s “fury” was fleshed out. I‘m excited to see where Tracy Banghart takes this story next in the next book!
Have you read this? Who resonated more with u - Serina or Nomi?

Lovesbooks87 I did read this and it did remind me a lot of The Handmaid's Tale as well. I would love there to be another book and see how their journey continues. 6y

This months #owlcrate was both amazing & disappointing. Disappointing because it‘s the same book as last months #fairyloot, amazing because the swag is so good! I love the tea towel with the quote from Throne Of Glass, the mirror compact with The Belles quote, the beautiful agate ring & the 3 witches magnetic bookmarks. But my favourite is the tin keepsake book with the absolutely gorgeous artwork & quote by Holly Black. It‘s sooo amazing! 8.5/10
