![]() ![]() Something I really liked about The Grace Year was the young women’s magic – or should that be “magic”? It leaves you wondering for a while whether or not the magic is truly supernatural magic, or if it’s a religious doctrine, or its just what this society calls female puberty. It has elements of The Handmaid’s Tale and The Lord of the Flies so you can kind of guess what some of the plot elements or vibes will be, but I think The Grace Year puts its own take on these elements and has a really strong but flawed lead in Tierney. ![]() I found The Grace Year to be a very interesting and compelling YA dystopian story. It is forbidden to speak of the grace year, but even so every girl knows that the coming year will change them – if they survive it… They must rid themselves of their dangerous magic before returning purified and ready to marry – if they’re lucky. Tierney James lives in an isolated village where girls are banished at sixteen to the northern forest to brave the wilderness – and each other – for a year. ![]()
