Graceling - Kristin Cashore

I've had this book

on my Kindle

for who-knows-how-long.

I never got around to reading it.

And when I finally did,

I couldn't remember what the story was about.

Which was cool.

You start reading a book 

with no synopsis.

Everything is new.

Graceling takes place

in a fantasy world of seven kingdoms.

A handful of people are born

with unique skills,

called graces.

These graces cover a wide range of skills.

Katsa, the niece of King Randa,

has been grace with the ability to kill.

She is feared.

And she is used as a thug

by her greedy uncle. 

Then Katsa meets Po.

He has been graced with the skill 

of fighting. 

He shows her that she is not a thug.

And together,

they set off on an adventure.

I loved this book.

It wasn't a OMG-I-can't-put-this-down book,

but it was exciting.

Each time you thought you knew something,

you learnt something new.
