Daffodil (daffodil--ripcranberry) | 1058 comments Ashley & I will be starting a buddy read of Graceling. Anyone is welcome to join us.


Ashley | 449 comments Okay I read really fast and usually finish books within a day so I will let you set the pace. :)


Daffodil (daffodil--ripcranberry) | 1058 comments I have stamp club tonight and won't be home 'til after 8:30. I'll start then. I almost picked it up on the way out the door this morning and didn't. Shame, I could have gotten some serious reading in on my lunch hour.

Ashley | 449 comments Okay I will start it then too


Ashley | 449 comments Let me just say I love Po so much and ended up staying up extremely late finishing this book. It was just one of those ones I could not put down. I was a bit disappointed with the ending though. However I don't want to spoil anything for you so I wont say why until your finished.


Daffodil (daffodil--ripcranberry) | 1058 comments I've barely started it, but what I've read so far I really enjoyed. My lunch hour reading will be cut short today (Friday bank run takes precedence, LOL), but I'll get back to you later with more thoughts.


Ashley | 449 comments Don't worry Im on vacation so I have had plenty of free time.


Daffodil (daffodil--ripcranberry) | 1058 comments Finished this yesterday and really enjoyed it. I was a little disappointed with the ending also. I thought maybe Po and Katsa would be featured in the next book, but it doesn't appear that way from the blurb. I'm getting ready to leave and make my way home, so I'll check back in tomorrow with more thoughts.


Ashley | 449 comments I completely agree I looked up the next book too because I thought that maybe there would be more... And while I am okay with the whole not getting married thing I wish that they had made some sort of serious commitment to each other.


Daffodil (daffodil--ripcranberry) | 1058 comments Exactly. Instead just some vague sense of maybe meeting up "later".

Po was great, though. And his grace was interesting. Before she found out the truth and Katsa briefly suspected he was a mind reader, I had the thought that could explain his exceptional fighting skills too. I didn't dismiss it, but I didn't really think much more about it until the events that happened later.


Ashley | 449 comments Me neither but I completely called the fact that the king had a grace. As soon as I heard he wore an eye patch I figured that must be the reason why.


Daffodil (daffodil--ripcranberry) | 1058 comments It makes you wonder why, in a land so wary of the graced, no one else had any suspicions. Then again, it would only take him saying he wasn't graced once for everyone to believe it. But if that's the case, would Katsa be able to even consider it's possibility later on. Complicated! LOL.
