I read this once before but never got a chance to finish it, and now I reread it again. 
 I really, really wish I could like this book. I mean, who doesn't want a kick-ass female heroine with super "Graceling" power and beautiful mismatched eye that raised herself to refuse the treatment of cruel king? 
 And then there comes a handsome prince that could not take his eyes off her and smile his cocky smile and teasing all the time. 
 The idea about the graceling thing is unique, I wish I could have thought of that idea, and I also a big fan of Middle Ages/Kingdom fantasy mix with rebellion and politics and secrets, whatever. 
 But I grow bored off this book immediately. 
 Name like "Po", "Greenling", "Tea-leaves" (I don't think the original name was Tea-leaves but I couldn't remember the exact one". It just sounds weird for me. 
 And the whole book just focus on Katsa, and how she save the world and got in a romantic relationship with Po and discover her powerful grace. 
 After reading "A Game of Thrones" where it broadened character's personality and contain different elements (love, sex, politics, marriage, war, blood, magic, humour, sense, smart...), I just found this book didn't live up to my expectation. 
 I lost track of all the minor characters. And if I was a naive reader a few years ago, I would have like it. But not any more. ANd the whole relationship thing between katsa and Po has been criticized by few readers so I won't rambling about it in here.
