Graceling

This was a really compelling read. Another book that I probably wouldn't have picked up if it weren't for YA lit class because it seems too “fantasy-ish”, but I would have missed out.

I loved the way the relationship between Po and Katsa developed, and the mystery of the kidnapped prince and the young princess. I'm definitely planning to check out the rest of the trilogy.–re-read in preparation for [b:Winterkeep 53624358 Winterkeep (Graceling Realm, #4) Kristin Cashore https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1600268464l/53624358.SY75.jpg 83947956] and it still slaps
