Screenshot from Goodreads “Keep your gods and goddesses on their pedestals if you want, but the rituals, the rules, the isolation? You know that isn’t really from them, right? That’s written by mortals. Men, mostly. We have a bad habit of locking up people who scare us, and the thing that scares men with power most is a woman with more of it.” “Cry. Rage. You deserve to. You’re angry, and you should be, but you get to choose whether it will make you bitter or make you better.” -Emily Thiede, This Vicious Grace (The Last Finestra, #1)
NERD DAILY: This immersive fantasy features an incredibly dynamic backdrop and it is imbued with magic that just breathes life into the characters. Much like its cover, it’s rich with beautiful storytelling, compelling characters that will sear themselves to your very soul by the end. There’s betrayal, forbidden romantic entanglements, found family, political machinations, and so much to love about this book. Despite the fact this story is fantasy fiction, I think many will identify with Alessa, because, at her core, she’s a young woman with the weight of the world thrust upon her shoulders and essentially trying to figure it out before the world goes to hell. Literally. Currently, I think most of us feel the same. I would definitely say to add this to your TBR, but if you’re someone who really enjoys listening to your books, listen to this one. The narration is phenomenal, and keeps you on the edge of your seat until the very end.
