Graceling

     Graceling, written by Kristin Cashore, was one of my favorite books that I have read in a while. I loved the plot line, the characters, the theme, and just about everything else. Katsa is not only an amazing character in Graceling, but she is a stupendous example of someone searching for her identity. Anyone and everyone can relate to Katsa, because at one time or another, everyone feels that they do not know who they are, and Kristin Cashore has transferred a teenager's every-day life into a fantastic adventure novel.
     Kristin Cashore, through Katsa, shows what it would be like to live in a world with magical powers. It would add complication to minor every-day issues, but on the other hand, it would add depth to any ordinary activity. Katsa and Po are perfect for each other, because of their magical abilities. No one else would understand Katsa or Po as they would each other, because their extraordinary abilities are not something that they can explain to someone who has no idea what it is like to have them. Po makes Katsa stronger, and visa-versa, which makes them work perfectly as a couple.
