So far...

After reading pgs 82-143 in The Graceling, I've now gotten addicted to this book!  I can't seem to put it down!  I am way farther in the book then this but I didn't want to ruin it for anyone who hasn't read farther yet. So far in the book, Katsa was teased by others because she had absolutely no idea that Giddon was in love with her!  She was completely clueless of it.  Po had also told Katsa that he was going to end up proposing to her and she was very upset about that.  She didn't even know how to act around Giddon now that she knew he loved her.  Randa wanted Katsa to bring back a wife for some under lord and she had decided she did not want to go through with his task.  She gave Oll a bruised cheek and Giddon a cut on his neck so that they would not take the blame and it would all be on her.  Later in this section, Katsa finds out that Pe also has very good spatial awareness which allows him to know who is around him and when.  Katsa and Po would make an awesome duo because they can relate to one another.

  1. The part where Katsa took the blame for letting the king Ellis off the hook was very honorable! I liked that she did that and she is taking the blame because she knows Randa can’t hurt as much as he could to Oll and Giddon plus Oll has a wife and Giddon has a kingdom and Katsa understood that those things would be affected too if Giddon and Oll took the blame. I love Katsa character. She is very hardcore and hard headed which makes her entertaining to read. Especially because she was so oblivious to the fact that Giddon was madly in love with her when the whole entire castle knew about his crush. I also feel bad for Katsa though because it’s obvious she has some sort of feelings for Po and then she figures out he’s been keeping a huge secret (him being a mindreader) from her. I can not wait to see how she reacts to this and what Po will say! I totally agree they would make a great duo but will Katsa be able to trust Po now because he has lied to her? I wonder what will happen to their relationship, hopefully nothing too serious or tragic. I really enjoy both of their characters and hope that Po will stick around until the end.
