Graceling by Kristin CashoreMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Katsa is a Graceling and the niece of the king. Being a Lady should give her a life of privilege,
but since her Grace is the ability to fight and kill with her bare hands, she
has become the king’s enforcer; she is sent out to threaten and kill anyone the
king believes is a threat. After meeting
Po, a prince who is also Graced, she discovers additional information about his
missing grandfather. She agrees to help
Po learn the why behind the disappearance.
What truths will Katsa learn about her Grace as she pursues facts about
Po’s family?
Graceling is a graphic novel adaptation of the book with the same name. I loved the original series and this book brought back all the feels as I explored this adaptation. Hinds is a wonderful illustrator and he has taken the original story and has breathed new depths into the storyline. Since graphic novels are a quicker read and not everything is included, I feel like some things were left out, but since I read the original twelve years ago, I can’t say what it may be. This interpretation was wonderful and I expect many new readers will go find the original novels and explore this wonderful world.
