Margaret Atwood’s The Handmaid’s Tale meets M. Night Shyamalan’s The Village in Extasia, a sinister story of unchecked religious extremism in a post-apocalyptic world. This book gave me chills on every page. I could not put it down!
Extasia
School Library Journal
Legrand’s lush and uniquely evocative prose keeps tensions high throughout Amity’s struggle with her magic, fury, and conscience.
Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books
Legrand successfully brings a supernatural gruesomeness to her exploration of morality and agency.
Publishers Weekly
The Handmaid’s Tale meets The Craft in this feminist standalone from Legrand (the Empirium trilogy), a fusion of horror and queer romantic fantasy that advocates unity, self-empowerment, and societal change.
Booklist
Legrand crafts a fiercely unsubtle feminist fantasy that takes on the patriarchy and the toxicity of hate.
