Seriously, I developed my love of reading on Fantasy (David Eddings! ♥♥♥) and I LOVE it when I get to revisit now.<br /><br />I am SOOOO glad you're loving Graceling!!!! Is it not AMAZING? And Fire is as good! AND BITTERBLUE WILL BE WITH US SOOOOON! *fangirls*<br /><br />Have you read Poison Study and/or Touch Of Power by Maria V. Snyder? You might like them if you love Graceling?<br /><br />Errr... sorry... I always get this irrepressibly urge to recommend them if someone says they're reading Krisin Cashore, and vice versa XD<br /><br />LOVED this post!Sarah (saz101)https://www.blogger.com/profile/08936602748682093150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1077975888449897657.post-76170125289057034692012-02-16T05:33:08.333-05:002012-02-16T05:33:08.333-05:00YOU'RE READING GRACELING. SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!...YOU'RE READING GRACELING. SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!! I need Fire now now now now NOW! Actually, maps in books don't really interest me (unless it's HP, because that's a series I need to know everything about, down to the last leaf on the Whomping Willow). But generally I skip over maps haha. <br /><br />The rest, though? YES!!! Badass girls! Fights! And bloodshed! And swords! And super intriguing magic! And okay, so I love sequels in any book because I'm a greedy little book muncher. But you're so right, fantasy usually has more of an over-arcing plot that NEEDS to extend over multiple books.<br /><br />And you realise you have me on such a fantasy kick right now??Brodiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16389909407256668662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1077975888449897657.post-49620780593555573442012-02-15T10:39:18.044-05:002012-02-15T10:39:18.044-05:00Gotta love fantasy!Gotta love fantasy!Erin W.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12057902364536764649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1077975888449897657.post-78756484067582816812012-02-14T20:31:46.595-05:002012-02-14T20:31:46.595-05:00Soo happy you're loving Graceling!

Especially number two - so much better than those books you get where the heroines stand back and weep in the corner, literally doing nothing while someone else saves them over and over. I wanna see them stand up for themselves! With swords, if possible! :P Great post!Liz.
