The girls from Grimrose Académie must break a fairy-tale curse before death comes for them in this follow-up to 2021's The Grimrose Girls.Ever since friends Nani, Rory, Ella, and Yuki discovered there is a curse at the heart of Grimrose that has killed many girls over the years and that may yet take their own lives, they have started their own investigation on how to break the cycle of death and destruction. As the girls recover from the recent events-brought about by their own hands-that ended with another dead body, they each must figure out how their own lives fit into a presumably prescribed narrative. But as their deadline looms ever closer, the secrets they are keeping are opened wide, and the balance between life and death hangs on one fateful choice. Pohl's latest bursts open the doors of multiple fairy tales, here retold with a feminist, empowering focus on the friendships between the girls, how far they are willing to go for one another, and their individual journeys to determine their own destinies. While the pacing suffers from a slight slump in the middle, the novel fulfills on its own promising conceit with a cast of characters featuring diversity in ethnicity, disability, sexuality, and mental health.A fitting ending to a great duology. (Fantasy. 14-18)
At Grimrose Académie, the fairy-tale deaths continue. And unless the curse is broken, one of the girls could be next. Nani, Yuki, Ella, and Rory have discovered the truth about the curse that's left a trail of dead bodies at Grimrose. But the four still know nothing of its origins, or how to stop the cycle of doomed fates. And each girl harbors her own secret. One is learning why she was brought to the school. One struggles to keep her new and deadly power under control. One knows exactly how much time she has left. And one, trying to escape her dark destiny, will come even closer to fulfilling it. Can the girls change their own stories and break the curse? Or must one of them die to end it forever?
