Graceling Book Review.

Yay! My first post!

Graceling by Kristen Cashore

Summary:

Katsa has been able to kill a man with her bare hands since she was eight—she’s a Graceling, one of the rare people in her land born with an extreme skill. As niece of the king, she should be able to live a life of privilege, but Graced as she is with killing, she is forced to work as the king’s thug.

When she first meets Prince Po, Graced with combat skills, Katsa has no hint of how her life is about to change. She never expects to become Po’s friend. She never expects to learn a new truth about her own Grace—or about a terrible secret that lies hidden far away . . . a secret that could destroy all seven kingdoms with words alone.

I loved this book, from the cover to the plot. Amazing. It was the cover that made me pick it up, then I read the first few pages and was hooked. The Seven Kingdoms trilogy makes me wish Graces were real. Because I'd love to have one, and the eyes which are different colors. The mark of a Graced.

Cover Like I had said, it's what made me pick it up. It's interesting, so it makes you assume the book will be. And I love the colors.

Characters I loved all of them! Well all of the good ones. They all had cool names like Kasta and Po. And all of the characters were very nicely describe and had cool looks. And they was a perfect amount of main and minor characters. Enough to keep it interesting, but not so many it was hard to remember them all.

Setting  Great. It was in a land called The Seven Kingdoms. I like it when a story takes place in a made up land. Especially one like The Seven Kingdoms, I wish it was real.

Over All Rating 5/5

Graceling is a unique story, one that has something for everyone. The only thing I don't like it that there isn't a sequel, but a companion.
