I finished this book months ago and i've read it like 3 times already. This is definitely one of may favorite books of all time. Katsa is my favorite characters of all time and Prione Po is my fictional boyfriend FYI. 
 Cashore's writing is beautiful and you can easily be mesmerised by this beautiful world of gracelings. Ths love story is beautiful. 
 I love this book and I probably will be reading it many times more
