I really loved this a lot! It was a little slow at first. But as the story unfold to paced picked up! I really love the friendship and relationship between Po and Katsa. It was very sweet and beautiful.

I vaguely remember reading this when I was younger, and I was actually a fanatic of it. My username for most of my accounts stemmed from this book, but when I came back to it years later...it disappointed me. The beginning was quite…

You can't have a good enemies-to-lovers trope if they get together a quarter into the book. smh.

Graceling felt like half-finished book. The storyline and characters were average and there was too much romance, its basically 1/2 romance and 1/2 interesting. Did not like the cliche near the end of katsa's and Po journey. The book is…
