Review Detail

Reader reviewed by Lea

Once I get over the name Katsa, I loved this novel. At first, I was a little hesitant to read it. A girl graced with the skill to kill? Creepy...

It took me awhile to really like Katsa, but she has a good heart. She's strong and powerful, but she's kind. Po was a great character to throw into the mix, especially once we learn more about his mysterious Grace, and that it's not what it seems. The two of them are a good match, he can calm her down a little. There was romance without too much, views on marriage, and plenty of action. I loved this novel, and what an amazing concept.

Fantastic. Cashore has a Grace of her own.
