(Oct. 10) Loved, loved, loved this book! I wish my laptop keyboard had musical note keys so you could have gotten the full effect of me singing how much I loved it.
Okay, granted compared to quite a few other books it was longer, but, but, but that didn’t matter. I didn’t put it down.
And I picked it up, actually a while ago (sorry it’s taken so long to review) without really having heard any hype about it.
Kristin’s world of the Seven Kingdoms is so believable. And as you all know I enjoy it when an author adds something to the book like a map or as in the case of Wondrous Strange which I will be reviewing shortly, a playbook. It just makes me happy and I understand things a bit better.
I was about to go through and list all of the things I felt were believable when I realized I would have been listing everything.
Such a great story, such great characters, I enjoyed the twists, and the romance and even the evil.
I want a Grace. Hmmmm, what would it be? And what color would my eyes be? Maybe someone could make a Grace generator. You know where I type in my name and it randomly picks my eye color and Grace. Could you get right on that Kristin? Since it is your imagination at work. :D
I would say I’m excited for Fire but that would be an huge understatement, plus it is already available at my local bookstore. I just don’t have the moolah yet. I’ll see if the library has it though. Maybe I’ll get it faster.
The relationship/banter between Katsa and Po was awesome. I’m a sucker for good banter. I liked that she could kick his butt, and that he wasn’t easy on her in fights, and yet they both had an incredibly soft side for each other.
I thought the ending was amazing in how they figured out what was going on. I was heartbroken as well. And I can’t say anything. It’s so hard sometimes.
Go Get This Book!
Again, too many things I’d like to quote but too much would be given away so...
“You’re not the most perceptive person I’ve ever known, Kat,” Raffin said, “if you don’t mind my saying so. Your capacity for missing the obvious is astonishing.”
She threw her arms into the air. She turned to go. She turned back suddenly, at a shocking thought. “You’re not in love with me, are you?”
He stared at her for a moment, speechless. Then he burst into laughter.
