Wow! This book was incredible. The world that Kristin Cashore has created is amazing. People are born with a "grace" that shows up when they are children. The grace is known because one of the eyes will change a different color, we know it as heterochromia. The graces that people are gifted with can range from knowing what the weather will be to what Katsa has, a grace of killing easily. While Katsa is very strong, she is oppressed by her uncle, King Randa of the Middluns. While he isn't an 'evil' man, he doesn't always do good things. She longs to have a life away from all the blood shed she is forced to do at the Kings bidding. She starts the Council, an organization that helps people instead of hurting them. When Katsa meets Prince Po, she has feelings for him she doesn't want to feel. They go in search of his grandfather, a Prince of Lienid. They find out many truths about the kingdoms, each other and themselves along the journey. A really excellent read! 5 out of 5 stars!
