In the vast and magical world of Graceling political turmoil is strife across the seven kingdoms.In this world there are people who are born with a Grace.
They are feared and exploited.
Katsa was born with the Grace of killing.
She can strike more than dozens of armed men without a weapon.
None is her equal until she meets Po, another Graced fighter.
He has eyes that glow that unsettle her. Unexpectantly she becomes his friend and they travel together on a quest to discover the truth of dark things happening under the seven kingdoms' rulers.
After finishing it, I was quite convinced that Kristin Cashore has a gift for engrossing, enlivening story telling. Graceling is one of those books that capture your attention and trap you into the story so deeply until you simply can't put the book down until you finish it. Even then, you do so relunctantly.
The passionate yet fiercely loyal love between Po and Katsa, the engaging plot, very well-developed characters and to top it off, a strong, intelligent female protagonist - all flowed together seamlessly to make an enchanting story, that will stay with me for quite a while to come - with a lot of re-reads!
