Extasia by Claire Legrand
challenging
dark
mysterious
tense
- Loveable characters? No
3.5
It’s The Grace Year, with magic, basically. Which is totally fine if you love The Grace Year. And which I would have known if I had actually read the updated blurbs, so that’s on me, I suppose (I just tend to avoid blurbs if it’s an author I like).
All of this to say that I only liked this marginally better than The Grace Year, and I possibly would have liked it more if I didn’t (unintentionally) read it almost immediately after.
Go into this expecting all the content warnings you might imagine when reading misogynistic dystopia.
