After reading this week, I have really gotten into The Graceling. So much just happen, most of it predictable of course, but that is what I think I like about this book. I honestly do love the fact that I guessed before Katsa even knew Giddon loved her and that Po was a mindreader! I thought that was funny. But it really showed how young, and naive her character really is. With the part about Giddon being in love with her and she was saying how could anyone love me, really shows how she feels about herself. I find that very upsetting because she is a great, strong girl who only wants to use her grace for good. Although, this is what makes her so relatable to the younger age group.
I thought it was so funny when Giddon proposed to Katsa especially after the talk she had with Raffin and how he told her to come up with a good reason that would not hurt Giddon. You could tell that Katsa was trying to remember what Raffin told her to say but she was so taken off guard she like forgot. Then her FINALLY figuring out Po was a mindreader was great! I mean finally! I’ve known that since the first time we meet this character. I really want to read on and find out what she’ll say to Po and if she will confront him about his lies and what will this do to their relationship.
I also am really enjoying the book. I like how it is a nice, easy read that I can just sit back and enjoy and not have to worry about too difficult of vocabulary. I like the fact that some of it is predictable as well. I also thought it was funny when Katsa found out Giddon was in love with her. She really was clueless about the issue and that made me laugh. I really think that Po is an awesome match for Katsa. They understand what each other goes through and can truly relate. They both are incredible fighters and they like to learn and practice moves on each other. How cute is that! I always picture their fights in a funny way... Po and Katsa beating the crap out of each other, laughing and smiling while kicking each others asses! That is hilarious to think about. I have began to really read far ahead. When I'm at work, I am always reading in between clients. I didnt want to set the book down! I can't wait for you to continue to read and find out more about Po and Katsa and their relationship, or no relationship! lol I dont want to give it away but you are in store for reading delight! A lot of people in the class are saying they do not like the book, but I like the fact that you are enjoying it just as much as me!
