This book, set in a world where people with exceptional skills, known as Graces, are both feared and revered, really drew me in to it's dark plot! I loved it!!!
It is about a girl named Katsa, Graced with killing, a Grace that she despises. She is used as a weapon by the king of her realm but completes missions behind his back with the aid of her Council. One mission she goes on, in which she rescues an old man, father of the king of another realm, drags her deeper into a complex adventure, in which she meets Po, a prince whose gift of fighting rivals her own.
My favourite character was Katsa, but Bitterblue and Po are only a millimetre behind.
If I could have any Grace I would have the Grace of survival, because it would help with loads of stuff. I wouldn't mind the Grace of creativity though, I always get writer's block!!!
I would definitely suggest this book to anyone who loves fantasy, action and romance. It is a great read for people of all ages.

Can You Smell It?

March Prompt - Favourite Scent. I've got to say, I don't really notice the smells around me - except the food ones -. Still, our noses are amazing things. Everything has its own individual scent. I don't have a favourite, but I'm going to share with you some of the ones I like. See if you can conjure up the scents I love without it being around you. I won't include food, or my list will go on forever. Our noses can remember 50,000 scents. Do you remember the same one I do? I'm going to start with snow. You don't always notice, but snow has a rather delicious smell. Like wind and flowers and cold. I wouldn't recommend sticking your head out the window and smelling it for long though, your nose might freeze off. We recently had the first snow settling this year! It doesn't happen a lot down in the valleys of south-west England. Up on the moors near us though, It snows much more. Another smell I adore is that of books. Old and new, larg

February prompt - RED                                                RED The first thing that comes to mind at the word red is blood. I guess that has to do with one of my favourite books RED QUEEN. Today I'm going to post a review of some books I have read with the word RED in the title. But first... More about the word red and what it means to me. "Red to call enchantment down" Never wear red with blue. Music For a while, Taylor Swift was my favourite singer. I have all her albums except Reputation. One of them is called Red.  Like many albums, this one is named after one of the songs. Listen to the track RED. CHORUS Losing him was blue like I'd never known Missing him was dark grey all alone Forgetting him was like trying to know somebody you never met But loving him was red Oh, red Burning red poems A few days ago I wrote a poem called RED and posted it on my blog as part of my Thirty Day
