Thanks, Anna!<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Graceling by Kristin Cashore<\/span><br \/>\n\u00a0\u00a0 Ever since she was little, Katsa found out that she could kill a man with her bare hands. She was called a Graceling, one of the few people in her land that had an extreme skill of some sort. Katsa was a niece of the king but instead of living her life in luxury, she is forced to be a servant of the king&#8217;s revenge. Things start to get interesting when Katsa meets Prince Po who is also a Graceling, but of a skill so unique people are afraid of him. With Po, the two Gracelings set off to figure out a mystery of why King Oll was stolen from him own land and eventually, they find out something the never would&#8217;ve guessed about a city in their land. Somebody else has a skill too, but it&#8217;s in the wrong hands.<br \/>\n\u00a0\u00a0 This New York Time&#8217;s bestseller novel captured my attention by the first page. The way Cashore writes is like a door inviting somebody in and it&#8217;s so unique and interesting that once I started reading it, I couldn&#8217;t stop. I really liked the way this book started off giving us no background knowledge and inviting us to read more. It was confusing in a fun and interesting way and when the book began to unravel itself, it was eccentric. I&#8217;m not much of a fantasy reader but Graceling is unlike any other fantasy you&#8217;ve read. The passion and beauty put into the story filled me with a thrill and will give every reader a thrill as well. Open up Graceling and begin to discover a new world.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Like what you read?
