Review Detail

I must say, there was a ton of hype about this book from a ton of my
friends on Goodreads. Which only made me want to read it more. I did
love this book - a lot.

The character Katsa is so hard, but
has her soft points. Although she is forced into harming and sometimes
killing for her uncle, she decides to help others - to form the Council
that will help those who are in need.

I fell in love with Po
and his semi-arrogant behavior. The way he loved Katsa so openly and
did not dare suggest to possess the woman who can kill without effort.

Princess
Bitterblue also had the unique characteristic of being so regal at the
age of 10. The way she dealt with the tragedy in her life was inspiring
and the way that Katsa took care of her really softened me to Katsa's
usually rough character.

And the plot, oh the plot. Kristin
throws you right in with Katsa on a rescue mission and then
backtracking to understand her background and why she acts the way she
does. The action doesn't seem to slow, but for travel time on the
different adventures.

This book has everything you could want
in a fantasy - a unique world, amazing characters, and a plot to keep
you on your toes and wanting more.

If you love fantasy, and you haven't read this book yet - you MUST!
