Graceling

Discussion page for //Graceling// Good fantasy with good character development. Action moves along and the premise of the characters' "graces" - an inherent talent each character must learn to use wisely - is developed well in each main character. Tamora Pierce-like but better. Got great reviews across the board and our copy is always out. Denise/Hanover

My 13 year old niece read it and liked it so much she lent me her copy to read. I really enjoyed it and I'm making sure our copy is always out. Catherine/Troy

I thought this was a great read and would be very appealing to Teens. The premise is quite different with the female character starting out with atypical violent behavior in using her "Grace:. Her inner struggles with her role and realization of what her Grace really is transforms this character as the story unfolds. There is a romantic angle as well, but with both retaining a sense of independence right to the end. A wonderful fantasy that will keep this book moving. I would recommend it for the top 13.
