Graceling

Review Time Take Two! Sorry guys, that I'm like swamping you all with review but I have to catch up on my reviews or else, I will be forever behind! Graceling by Kristin Cashore was fantastic! I read it like two weeks ago but because I was behind on my reviews I haven't been able to post it til now and since I'm trying to get all my reviews up and going this weekend here is my review FINALLY!

Now, when I first started reading this book I was delighted to find that it was set in the middle ages (kinda with you know knights and inns and villagers and all), I love books that are set in the olden days, it reminded me of Eragon and The Rangers Apprentice series :P It was really fun to read!

Although the writing style was pretty serious it was still pretty easy to read, the characters were also really well brought out. The romance was terribly cute and the cover was really clever too. What I really like though was the who concept of a Graceling, it was really clever of the author think that up let alone a novel based around it. I also understand that writing about a whole different world to our own need alot of research and all to write so it really was a well written novel! However, I would have liked to see further than where the book ended I wasn't satisfied with the ending so that bought down the rating :( Rating 3.5/5

  1. This book is wonderful, and is a definite favorite of mine. I have Fire, which I haven't read, but I heard we don't get to see Katsa and Po in it. Hopefully they make an appearance in the third novel, Bitterblue!

  2. Hooray! I love Graceling! Fire was pretty good, too, but I would have been happier with a sequel, rather than a prequel-type-thing. Bah.
