Graceling (358-471)


At first when I finished the Graceling, I did not like the ending because it wasn’t like an official end. I thought it should have ended when they found Po. But after discussing the conclusion in class I find that the book ended with a sense of peacefulness, almost as if everyone finally found their place in the world. Especially for Katsa. Instead of being controlled by various men like Randa with how he forcefully made her use her grace, and Leck who controlled her with his mind. Katsa came to her own through out the novel. She led us on the journey of discovering who she is and gaining her own control on her own life. At the end, instead of her and Po getting married and living happily ever after, Katsa found something important she wanted to do, teach young girls how to fight. The fact that Katsa wants to do this would have been surprising at the beginning but now since Katsa became her own person. I think that’s so great because this really shows young girls who will read this book that you can and should do what you want with your own life and that you don’t need a man to do that. Over all I really enjoyed this novel and would recommend it to others.
