Review: I'm more of a science fiction fan but occasionally I enjoy a bit of fantasy.  I started out reading Graceling for a change and it started out a bit slow and I wasn't all that interested in it.  I wanted to give up but Rebecca, who adores this book, told me that I should keep going to give it a chance.  I'm glad she told me to because with Graceling the more I read of it the better it became.

The whole idea of Graces is something new and unexplored within the fantasy world and it just happens to be fascinating.

I loved Katsa and I loved Po.  I even loved Bitterblue.

Graceling is just a really awesome book and I think that everyone should read it at least once.
