A Goodreads user asked this question about Graceling (Graceling Realm, #1):

I've tried to read this book twice and got to page 40 and still bored out of my mind...Does it get any better and is it worth it?

Cate No... Graceling never gets any better. Cashore created some shallow villains with no complexity, a noble perfect prince, and of course, our strong fem…moreNo... Graceling never gets any better. Cashore created some shallow villains with no complexity, a noble perfect prince, and of course, our strong female protagonist. Personally, I didn't like Bitterblue (book 3) any better, but book 2, Fire, was actually considerably interesting. Fire, set in a different part of the Graceling universe, allows Cashore to begin again with new characters and an almost entirely new world. Bitterblue brings the two together, but if you are having trouble with Graceling, either scrap the series, or go straight to Fire.(less)
