There's no mystery when there is no clues. If you leave your reader completely in the dark it doesn't hook them in. It's assumed that the grace year is meant to be a way to control young women, but if you want to subdue them, why would you tell them they have strong magical powers? What is the incentive for them to get rid of their magic, and what is the plan for this glorified no-supply camping trip to do the trick? It's a cool idea for a premise but wayyy underdeveloped because none of it made any sense.
I did enjoy the later-middle part of the book, which introduced a lot of possible outcomes.
The ending, in summary, was extremely disappointing. I have no idea if there is a sequel planned but I have no interest in reading more of this.

I feel torn between loving this and wishing that the story went in the direction I was hoping for. The premise really got me hooked and the ending was intriguing. Some of the pacing was a little slow. Overall, I would recommend this if you're wanting a good dystopian read with feminine rage.
