I was interested to see how events would unfold, and I liked that the chapters alternated between the perspectives of Nomi and Serena, to follow each sister on their respective journeys. This was a book that I got into pretty quickly, and found it to be an enjoyable story which I finished in only a couple of sittings. However, events at the palace do not pan out like either sister had anticipated, and both young women find themselves imprisoned, in different ways. As Serena prepares to meet the heir, in the hope that she will be chosen as a Grace, Nomi is at her side acting as her handmaiden, to help take care of her sister. This secret of Nomi’s is one that could put both sisters in jeopardy. In contrast, her younger sister Nomi has a more rebellious side, and crucially she carries a secret which could get her into trouble in a world in which women are so restricted in what they can do. As a result she maintains her beautiful appearance and is raised as an elegant lady, one fit to be seen alongside royalty. Serena has spent her life preparing to become a ‘Grace’ a perfect woman fit to be presented to the heir to the throne. And in this world we meet sisters Serena and Nomi, whose world is about to change, but not in the way they expected. In this story, we are introduced to a world in which women have no rights. It was not a book I had come across before, but it was one with an interesting premise which I was excited about reading. Grace & Fury was the book featured in June’s ‘ Rebels in Ballgowns’ box from Fairy Loot.
