"One of the best fantasies of the year." - Buzzfeed

"Riveting, passionate, and full of high stakes danger." â??Tamora Pierce, #1 New York Times bestselling author

Emily Thiede's exciting fantasy debut, This Vicious Grace, the first in The Last Finestra duology, will keep readers turning the pages until the devastating conclusion and leave them primed for more!
Three weddings. Three funerals. Alessa's gift from the gods is supposed to magnify a partner's magic, not kill every suitor she touches.
Now, with only weeks left until a hungry swarm of demons devours everything on her island home, Alessa is running out of time to find a partner and stop the invasion. When a powerful priest convinces the faithful that killing Alessa is the island's only hope, her own soldiers try to assassinate her.
Desperate to survive, Alessa hires Dante, a cynical outcast marked as a killer, to become her personal bodyguard. But as rebellion explodes outside the gates, Dante's dark secrets may be the biggest betrayal. He holds the key to her survival and her heart, but is he the one person who can help her master her gift or destroy her once and for all?… (plus d'informations)

I loved everything about this one!

The Characters Alessa is a fantastic protagonist, especially for a YA book. She begins the book accepting the scorn of those around her as her due. She sees herself as a failure and is beginning to listen to those that wish her gone. (Spoiler level low, but marked for those that avoid them entirely.) Dante cuts through that. But she doesn't suddenly start valuing herself because a man tells her too, she takes his words and truly thinks about them. Allows him to introduce her to a different point of view, and then makes her own choices to change and grow and thrive. This is a wonderful progression for a book aimed at youth. We follow along as Alessa fights against a system that does not serve her, something that's likely to resonate with many teens.

The Plot This is a largely character driven book, though the plot is also very engaging. We are along for the ride as the countdown to the end of the world ticks by.

The Writing I found the writing to be very good. The banter and dialog was all fantastic. The prose were well crafted and interesting. My only critique is that the supporting characters did not have particularly distinct voices. ( )

Talk about the old rock and a hard place. That's where Alessa finds herself at the start of this story. She's tasked with pulling magical energies from the person selected as her partner, but all she's managed thus far is to kill three of them while attempting to harness her channeling abilities. This certainly doesn't bode well for the dwindling number of partners with the skills she needs who remain with ant sort of willingness. Enter Dante, marked as an outcast and cynical, but with a secret beyond what any involved might imagine.
With his help and a new way of involving those with the magic she needs to direct in order to save her world, she perseveres. To say more about what happens would give too much away. Let it be said that for anyone who loves YA fiction with dystopian, magical, and dark themes, this will satisfy all three with a sequel set up nicely at the end of this one. ( )
