In this world, there are people who are "Graced" with special abilities like fighting, mind-reading, swimming, running. These Gracelings are marked with two different coloured eyes. This story follows the life of one remarkable Graceling girl, Katsa, who's ability is difficult to pin down because she's great at many different things, especially fighting through brute strength.
One day Katsa seemingly meets her match, Prince Po, and they go on an incredible adventure to discover, and kill, a seemingly corrupt king.
I must admit it took me a while to finish this book because it did have moments where the story seemed to drag on and I got a little bored. But, overall this is definitely a book I would recommend to everyone. The reader is taken along with Katsa as she discovers that she's not just an unbeatable fighter; she's capable of so much more. And I think that element of discovery, and how she evolves is what makes this such an epic story.
Nothing but love for this book.
