OMG, Fantastic! I stayed up all night...had to finish. Compelling, great world-building, strong complex characters... more later.

This was a good book (around the same quality as Graceling). Perhaps my main qualm was that the book used Fire's beauty as the major plot device the entire time. The idea that someone is "so attractive that it causes problems" is interesting for a while, but when it became the entire book it got tiring. Also, the plot was a little too straightforward. I could have guessed it from page 20 (give or take some side-trips that Fire takes), which is a little frustrating from a literary perspective...

A very refreshing young adult novel with an atypical female lead. Katsa is a Graceling, a person born with a special enhanced ability (not a super power persay, as they are more mundane abilities; referred to as a Grace), and evident by having eyes of two different colors. Katsa's Grace is for fighting and her uncle the King uses her as his enforcer. Katsa is a smart woman, can easily beat or kill anyone who comes against her and desires none of the trappings or roles for the women of her country. She can take care of herself, and frequently is the one doing the rescuing. This a good book for young girls, and a good alternative for a genre which can be filled with princesses needing rescuing or focused on marriage.… (mais)

Well all I can say is WOW! WOW! WOW! This book was a really nice read. I really enjoyed seeing someones else's POV on the pandemic even if a fictional character. This book took me back to a time that seemed so uncertain. I enjoyed the talk about the elections and how they advocated for voting as this is a young adult book I think it will help with perspective and showing the younger generation how important it is to vote. This book also touched base on a few touchy subjects. I liked the emotional development in our main character. I can't say enough good words about this book. I will be recommending this book to all of my family and friends as well as to anyone who wants a recommendation on a good book. I can't wait for this to come out so my friends and family can read It as well! I think I have found a new author that I really like and enjoy reading. I can't wait for the next book published by this author!… (mais)
