Tracy Banghart was able to create beautiful scenery with her writing. One of the biggest strengths of Grace and Fury is the imagery. I really liked watching her grow into a strong, independent woman. Serina starts off as a “perfect” woman who submits and never rebels. Mount Ruin (aka the island prison) is crazy and full of super intense action. I liked both sisters stories, but Serina’s was more exciting. Through a series of events Serina is imprisoned and Nomi is forced to stay in the palace as a Grace of the Heir. The story follows two sisters, Nomi and Serina, in a land where women are oppressed and have no rights or power. The exclusive cover of Grace and Fury is stunning! I like it more than the original cover. One of my favorite things about Owl Crate is the exclusive covers.

I had heard about the book and thought it sounded interesting, but I probably wouldn’t have read it if it hadn’t been in this box. I received Grace and Fury in the Owl Crate August 2018 “Ruthless Royals” box. Thrilling and captivating, Grace and Fury is a story of fierce sisterhood, and of survival in a world that’s determined to break you. There is no room for weakness on Mount Ruin, especially weaknesses of the heart.

Imprisoned on an island where she must fight to the death to survive, surrounded by women stronger than she is, one wrong move could cost her everything. A traitor walks the halls of the palazzo, and deception lurks in every corner. Trapped in a life she never wanted, Nomi has only one option: surrender to her role as a Grace until she can use her position to save Serina. But when Nomi catches the Heir’s eye instead, Serina is the one who takes the fall for the dangerous secret her sister has been hiding. It’s her chance to secure a better life for her family, and to keep her headstrong and rebellious younger sister, Nomi, out of trouble. Serina Tessaro has been groomed her whole life to become a Grace–someone to stand by the heir to the throne as a shining, subjugated example of the perfect woman.
