For most of my life I thought I hated all fantasy novels. Then I read Graceling and realized that I only hate shitty fantasy novels and that it had just taken me an abnormally long time to get a hold of a great one.

Before Katniss or Celaena, Katsa was the first YA heroine I really obsessed over. I love her, and I love disappearing into the world Cashore creates around her.

“In a world where some people are born with extreme and often feared skills -- called Graces -- Katsa struggles for redemption from her own horrifying Grace, that of killing, and teams up with another young fighter to save their land from a corrupt king. Action-packed and featuring a strong, feisty girl.”
