Katsa is a graceling, which means she has an amazing gift - in her case, for fighting. The king Randa sends her on missions to hurt people but Katsa’s conscience leads her to use her gifts for good when possible, like rescuing the father of the Leonid king. During this mission, she meets Po, his grandson, and the two journey to discover who was responsible for the kidnapping. This is an epic fantasy novel, full of journeys (that are in no way boring), battles, super hot romance and wonderful characters and humor.
I listened to this on audio. I needed to reread it for our book club, but since I didn’t have anyone signed up, I didn’t really want to devote the time to it. (Don’t get me wrong, I love this book; it was the first book that turned me into a fantasy fan. But it’s long and I had a pile of ARCs from BEA and ALA to get through). I had a 5 hour bus ride on the way home from Washington after ALA so I listened to this. It was amazing. It was so amazing that I continued to listen to it even after I had returned home. I sat with headphones on playing mindless computer games so I could concentrate. I am not an audio fan typically, but this one worked for me 100%. |
