Critics Review
‘With this riveting debut, Cashore has set the bar exceedingly high’ - Publishers Weekly, starred review
“Cashore’s prose is smooth and unobtrusive. But for all its lightness of tone, Graceling is not a simple novel. indeed it deals with some very difficult subject matter. 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‘An assured fantasy debut…. Katsa is an ideal adolescent heroine, simultaneously confident of her strengths yet unsure of her place in the world. Every character is crafted with the same meticulous devotion to human comprehensibility…. In a tale filled with graphic violence and subtle heartbreak, gentle passion and savage kindness, matter-of-fact heroics and bleak beauty, no defeat is ever total and no triumph comes without cost. Grace-full, in every sense’ - Kirkus“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 CRITICRageful, exhilarating, wistful in turns - The New York Times Book ReviewA knee weakening romance - LA TimesAbout The Author
