Graceling



Hi everyone! This is my first post of my new blog! The first review ever on my blog is...



Boring Stuff
Title: Graceling
Author: Kristin Cashore
Genre: Fantasy

Fun Stuff *SPOILERS
Favorite Quote: "And I suppose it never occurs to you to start small. If I told you my roof needed rebuilding, you'd start by knocking down the house." ~Po to Katsa
Favorite Scene: The moment when Katsa defies Kind Randa, even with all of the soldiers with him in the throne room. It's just so cool to see how powerful she actually is when she takes a stand, and satisfying to see that King Randa can't do anything.
Most Nail Biting Moment: When King Leck appears in Po's castle and hypnotized Katsa and Po's family. It was really nerve-racking and heart thumping. Would Katsa break free? How did King Leck get there? Oh my gosh! If I had to stop reading then my nails would be gone.
Lamest Moment: When Giddon proposes to Katsa. I guess it was inevitable, but what really came out of it?
Most Romantic Moment: When Katsa is reunited with Po, laming the horse in her desperate journey. The first thing Po says to her is also lovely: "Still doing your best to ruin horses, I see."
Most Teary Moment: When Katsa realizes Po is blind, after she sees him again. It's just so sad, I don't know what to say. I did cry.
Most Happy Moment: The ending, of course, when Katsa starts a school for fighting and Po realizes his blindness is not so bad.
