I enjoyed a lot of things about this book, but parts of it also drove me nuts. For starters, I thought the writing was strong and I liked the author's voice. I could feel Katsa and Po's world coming to life as I read, and I appreciated that. I also liked seeing the relationship build between Katsa...
Actual rating: 2.5 starsI have so many things that I want to say about Graceling. Let me try and organize my thoughts:Things I enjoyed/liked:•The writing. The writing itself flowed well. •Some characters. Particular Po, Raffin and Bitterblue. Because of Bitterblue, I really want to read the third bo...
This will be a short review. I didn't hate this book, I was just overall unimpressed. I expected to like this more than I did, and I can't exactly articulate what I didn't like about it. I didn't like the abrupt relationship-focus. I also wish that I had a better visual of the kingdoms. I thought th...
Fantasy would probably be one of the genres that will forever put me on edge because of its unpredictability. Not that I expect predictability, but you know what I mean. Like the name of the genre suggests, the possibility of what it is to be offered from a book could be endless. My greatest fear (b...
Rating: 5 shinning starsMy opinion: Weirdly, I don't feel like writing a long review on just how much I loved this book.

I'm so glad someone recommended this book to me. I am so not, even a little bit, disappointed.The ending, oh the ending, it's good. I think I've felt happy and lonely at the same time. And it's a good kind of loneliness. Po. Oh Po.
The cover blurb from Publishers Weekly talking about slaking the thirst of Twilight fans almost put me off, I'm glad it didn't. This book with it's female protagonist who has to fight for her identity, who could kill you with her bare hands and who cuts off her hair because it gets in the way is no...
I just re-read Graceling, and by God, it is one of the best books I have ever read. Brilliantly developed characters fall seamlessly into a well-woven plot ... or is the plot woven well by the characters?Whatever your take on plot/character theory, this is an amazing book about self-identity, love a...
11/13/2010 This is probably my favorite recent book for 'strong female lead.' Cashore does an incredible job showing the development of Katsa as she tries to find her own identity despite the competing demands of the men in her society. As with most books, each time I read it I appreciate the cr...
