Its inevitable love story is sweetly unconventional and unabashedly feminist. Katsa herself is a rich character. The growth of her trust and self-esteem is the understated heart of the novel. This is always Katsa's story and enjoyable fast paced it is too. An immensely fun, good-hearted read. * SFX * 'Cashore creates believable characters with enough depth, subtlety, and experience to satisfy older readers . . . An impressive first novel. * BOOKLIST * Graceling really does have something to offer everyone. An adventurous and enjoyable read. * DEATHRAY * It's a great debut novel that will suit those who like their Fantasy unabashedly romantic. * SFFWORLD.COM * The story flows at a decent pace with a story that gradually builds in intensity and a mystery that unravels at just the right speed to keep things interesting. Cashore knows what makes a good spectacle and, even though you know that Katsa absolutely has to win through, writes set piece scenes that buzz with excitement and action. * GRAEME'S FANTASY BOOK REVIEW * A major strength of the writing is the imagery presented throughout the novel. The book is filled with very vivid descriptions of almost everything from castles, landscapes, courts, and the journeys that the characters go on. Kristin Cashore's 'Graceling' is a great start by a developing writer and I definitely look forward to seeing this writer grow with future novels as she shows tremendous potential. * FANTASY BOOK CRITIC *
