Thankfully, by the time I finished Graceling, I discovered that Cashore had come out with a companion novel, Fire. To put it bluntly, the book was simply enthralling, with a plot that features espionage, romance, detailed fight scenes, and expansive world-building. In a world where Gracelings become property of the king the moment they are discovered, Katsa is a monarch’s greatest weapon. Some are graced with mind reading or sword fighting, while others are graced with something more mild, like baking or bird calling.
Katsa is a Graceling, a person born with two different colored eyes who excels at a particular skill. Cashore’s premiere novel focuses on Katsa, a young woman with incredible powers. Graceling sat on my bookshelf for several years before I picked it up again, but once I did, I couldn’t put it down. At the time, the company was recording Graceling by Kristin Cashore and my mother graciously brought a copy home for me. My mother was working with a company called Full Cast Audio, a studio that produces audiobooks of children’s novels. I discovered my favorite book series in 2009. There’s nothing quite as comforting or rewarding as a good book.
