At first, I wavered on whether or not I wanted to read this book, but I'm glad I did.

Grace is a book set in the dystopian future about a young girl who is traveling on a train to escape the wrath of an evil dictator. She once lived in the Hills, a place untouched by the dictator, Keran Berj, but she was exiled once she failed her task as a suicide bomber. Now Grace is on a train to what she believes is freedom with a boy named Kerr who she just met. Kerr is also trying to find freedom outside of Keran Berj's rule, but his reason why is a secret. Why is Kerr taking to train ride, and will Kerr and Grace set foot on free land?

I really did like the book, but it was one I feel like I could easily forget. It was a really short book, but anything longer would have been boring and too slow for me. The book was also a little tough to follow at some points, but I feel like I understood everything Elizabeth Scott wanted me to. "Grace" only took me two hours to read, so I would definately recommend that you spend the little bit of time and decide what you think about this book for yourself.
