This review can also be found on The StoryGraph. I recently added this book to my list and I had high expectations for this considering I've never read from this author before and this is a start of a series but unfortunately I have two statements to make, one I was underwhelmed by this and probably won't continue with the series and two, oh wait the library I got this from only has the first book and won't get the sequels since they got their last batch this year. Where do I even begin? It starts with the main character Katsa or Kat for short and she lives in one of the seven kingdoms of this world; that's where the first problems with this book emerge. First off is the worldbuilding, it's just not there, there's no explanation for how the kingdoms were formed or the Grace system, I can't wrap my head around it. Second off is the characters, they weren't that fleshed out and the only thing that made Katsa special is that she can kill people with her bare hands and she has different coloured eyes, the other people were meh and the pacing is slow to say the least. Now with that out of the way Katsa initially lives by herself until she meets this person called Prince Po who is a sovereign of a kingdom whose name I forgot and that is why readers consider this a "romantasy", a fantasy romance like Fourth Wing however I wasn't a fan of this one. Most of the book revolves around Katsa's new relationship with Po and there were some events that garnered some interest like that horse scene and meeting new people like Leck who dies later and Bitterblue, I struggled to find a connection with them even when Bitterblue got better at fighting with Katsa's help. That's essentially it. What a shame. ( )1  Law_Books600 | Nov 3, 2023 |
 In a world of gossip girls, it is perhaps refreshing to have a teenage heroine who cuts off all her hair because it gets in her way; and Kristin Cashore’s eccentric and absorbing first novel, “Graceling,” has such a heroine. Katsa is tough, awkward, beautiful and consumed by pressing moral issues Ist enthalten inAuszeichnungenPrestigeträchtige AuswahlenBemerkenswerte Listen
Die junge Frau Katsa ist eine Beschenkte, ihre Gabe: Das Überleben. Dadurch kann sie unter anderem äusserst gut kämpfen, weshalb ihre Gesellschaft gemieden wird. König Randa stellt sie daher in seinen Dienst und sie muss kleine und grosse Verbrecher bestrafen. Doch im Geheimen arbeitet sie für den Rat, und als sie es bald am Hof nicht mehr aushält, bricht Katsa aus ihrem alten Leben aus. Mit dem beschenkten Prinzen Bo von Lienid versucht sie herauszufinden, warum dessen Grossvater entführt worden ist. Dabei lernt sie zu vertrauen und zu lieben. Ein tolles Debütl! Kristin Cashore schafft es auf wunderbare Weise, Charaktere zu erschaffen, denen man sich verbunden fühlt und die man auf ihrer Reise durch eine andere aber dabei doch realistische Welt und durch alle Gefühlsturbulenzen begleiten will. Prinz Bo könnte Edward Cullen Konkurrenz machen und auch das Cover erinnert an die Bis(s)-Reihe, ist jedoch weniger verspielt... Eine spannende Geschichte, die man nicht aus der Hand legen mag. Unbedingt zu empfehlen, besonders für Mädchen. (Alina Spuling (U 21)) Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
