Graceling

     This book is great for everyone who enjoys reading about older times, and loves adventure stories. Graceling takes place in the times where there were kingdoms, voyages on ships, and traveling on horseback. In a short explanation Graceling is about a girl named Katsa who was born with a great skill, also known as a "Grace." In these seven kingdoms anyone who is "graced" is either feared or exploited by higher authorities to achieve what they want. 
     Katsa despises what her grace is, because her grace is being a killer. She is a great fighter and almost invincible, but her uncle king of the Middluns forces her to punish and torture his enemies. Then, she meets Prince Po who becomes her friend, who is a great combat fighter.
     Graceling is not only a great story but can also teach you a few things along the way, and keep you entertained at the same time. If you are a person that does not usually enjoy books like this I recommend that you give it a try. This story might be able to change your mind, and leave you wanting to read more. If you already enjoy reading stories like this, Graceling might make that liking grow.
