Once, when I picked up a book from the local library, the librarian asked to tell her what I thought about the book when I would bring it back. Well, why not write a few lines about all the books I read so everybody could see what I thought about it? I'm often also happy to have friends recommend a certain book or tell me this and that is not really worth reading. I won't comment about the tons of books I have read so far, but about books I read from now on.

This is book 2 in the Graceling series. However, there is only some talk of Gracelings (the people which have different coloured eyes and are graced with some special skill). The only Graceling in this book is one which is a master mind controller and happens to fall through a crack into another kingdom. Most of the talk in this book is from this other of the seven kingdoms, the Dells. There Gracelings are unknown. Instead the Dells sport monsters. Very beautiful creatures. Their beauty can take in people and they do have the ability to mind control others. So does Fire, which is a human monster. Cansrel, her father was a much feared human monster but very close to the king. Fire's line of thought is rather different from her father's...
I enjoyed the first of the Graceling books more, but also this one is worthwhile to read.
