This Vicious Grace by Emily Thiede

5.0

This blew me away! The world building is unlike anything I've read and I found it really interesting and intriguing. I loved the found family and the magic system wasn't too complicated or hard to understand. The politics threw me off at some parts but was easy to catch up later on. I'm a sucker for found family which was done so well in this story, I loved seeing Alessa's relationships with each of the Fontes.

Alessa's relationship with Dante was not what I expected it to be to be honest but I enjoyed it! I think the ending was really done well and it felt purposeful and impactful to the story. The twist at the end definitely caught me off guard and I think it was really smart. I love duologies so I'm looking forward to continuing this!

I would highly recommend this for any fantasy or romance lovers looking for a quick, fun, and romantic read!
