Graceling

For an award-winning debut book, this is breathtaking!
Written with flair and elegance, Graceling is one of the spellbinding reads that quench my hunger for fantasy books. The thrilling journey, the terrifying adventure, the outstanding backdrops, the stunning encounters, the heart-pounding romance, and the endearing cast of characters have mesmerized me the whole time.
It’s interesting to find beauty and brutality together. In this book, you will find it in Katsa and Prince Po, both graced with extreme skills and they are beautiful. When their paths crossed, both their lives change forever in a journey that could end both their lives. While Katsa is a killing machine, Prince Po is a mind reader. And their graces will be a weapon in fighting an impious king graced with a powerful skill that curses the land and its people—and threatens to control all the kingdoms.
Together with the king’s daughter, Princess Bitterblue, who escaped from his father’s execution, they will face the death-defying odds, be trapped in the king’s charm, confront death, and try to break free. But will they triumph against their wicked and powerful enemy?
Skilfully crafted and absolutely compelling, Graceling by esteemed author Kristin Cashore promises to take you on an unforgettable and intensely exciting odyssey strewn with overwhelming challenges, nerve-racking battles, and numerous surprises!

Young, clever and distinctively fast, this spirited character is capable of capturing the hearts and imaginations of the readers by drawing the story to the gates of exciting quests packed with adventure, mystery, enchantment, and nerve-r...
