Gracling written by Kristin Cashore


Wow, this book was not what I expected. With the cover displaying a sword I thought for certain it was about knights, seeking the truth and that sort of thing. It is true the book does begin with a secret rescue of a grandfather, sheltering him at a castle. But from there the book goes head long into a romance. Katsa not realizing that Giddon is in love with her. Katsa vowed never to marry or have children. Then along comes Po, it is his grandfather that was rescued. Po watches Katsa, they train together to fight. They are graced, that you need to read the book to find out about. Katsa and Po leave together to seek why his cousin is in hiding with her daughter. Along the way the romance between the to strengthen. But do they love each other and if so can the love sustain them.


You need to read this romance, this is another book that plays on my heart and I needed tissues to finish the book. The sequel to this is Fire, I will need to read it, perhaps Po and Katsa are in this sequel!
