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.

Have you ever seen a person with two differently coloured eyes? If so, you've seen a graceling, a person who is graced with a special ability. This could be a special skill in cooking, mind reading, archery, medicine, whatever. But not always is the exact nature of such a grace what it appears to be.

Katsa is graced with special fighting skills. Even though she is a girl, there is not the slightest chance even ten highly trained warriors attacking her at once could do her much harm. For Randa, the king of Middluns, her grace is a very useful tool. But Katsa has also her own agenda, unknown to Randa.

When Katsa encounters another graced fighter, for the first time in her life she meets an opponent worthy to train with her. Very soon they become good friends and they happen to become involved in an adventure that requires even them to go to the very limits of their abilities.

This is an exceptionally good book but don't even think about starting to read it in fine weather or when you have lots of other things to do; putting it down before you've read it all is tremendously hard.

I'm convinced Kristin Cashore has two differently coloured eyes herself and surely her grace it writing good books.
