Sarah Betts (103 KP) rated Gravemaidens (Gravemaidens, #1) in Books

Dec 30, 2019

I received this copy of Gravemaidens from Delacorte Press through Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

This is a fascinating fantasy with a character who think she's a lot smarter than she really is.

I'm not sure if that's intentional or not so that may not be an actual complaint.

Kammani's bitterness about the society she lives in is justified and her anger provides most of the books fuel.

I really did like this book and I'm excited to see where the second one takes us!

Kudos

A story about loving yourself even when society tells you not to. Willowdean is a plus size girl and the daughter of a pageant queen. She lives in contrast to her mother who lives based on appearances. Will decides to enter a beauty pageant as a form of protest to the perceived perfection they target and learns a lot about herself, friendship, and family. The message of body positivity and loving yourself/embracing yourself for who you are is very heartwarming. One worth rewatching.
