This Vicious Grace by Emily Thiede

2.0

frankly I don't even remember reading this book properly after the first quarter because it quickly lost its charm. Most of the scenes dragged unnecessarily. Right from when Alessa employs Dante as her bodyguard till the end where they figure out the "solution", everything came too easily to Alessa. Besides, we don't have a proper villain and the stakes relating to the whole "stopping the invasion" never felt as serious as they were projected to be. I would say the magic system is quite interesting and even Alessa's struggle with her powers were conveyed really well.

thank you netgalley and macmillan for the ARC
