This Vicious Grace by Emily Thiede

4.0

This Vicious Grace is a YA fantasy about Alessa, who is chosen by the gods to protect her country. The book follows her on her journey to find her magic partner, who can help her save the country. The only problem is that she killed her last three partners.

I loved the dynamic between Alessa and Dante. Alessa is a strong female character who doesn't diminish herself once she finds a partner. I really enjoyed the world building, and the magic system.

This was marketed as a Serpent and Dove meets The Bodyguard, which I have to agree with. I recommend this for any fans of YA fantasy.
