Graceling

By Kristin Cashore

In the make-believe world of Dells, there are such things as graces. Graces are special abilities that the Gracelings possess. Gracelings are the people who have a grace. Some grace could be for swimming, or running, singing, cooking, sewing. But Katsa's grace is to kill.

When Katsa was eight, her distant cousin approached her, feeling threatened, Katsa hit his nose, not wanting to kill him, but killing him. After that her uncle Randa, king of the Middluns, makes Katsa his slave, sending her out to torture people who haven't harmed anyone.

Katsa came up with this council, where she and a few others, her cousin Raffin son of Randa and a captain in Randa's court Oll included, will go and do important things to help restore the peace in Dells. Katsa does not like what her uncle makes her do.

On one of Katsa's mission for the council, Katsa must rescue a Lienid prince, father of the current king of Lienid. This Lienid Prince was kidnapped for a reason no one knows.

This book was amazing, I loved it. The Plot was fantastic, I don't know about you but I love when I figure out a secret and it ends up being true. This book was like that with me, it was predictable, but in a good way.

The only bad thing was Katsa's morals, she does not believe in marriage. There are a couple parts that could be skipped, and you will know them when you get to them.

Other than that this book is amazing.
