pickThis was a book full of twists and turns. My stomach was in knots at the end trying to figure out how Cashore was going to bring the readers any peace. Bitterblue has been a loveable character since Graceling and you get to see her growing into her role as queen and trying to solve the mysteries of her father‘s reign. Be prepared for a lot of mystery and intrigue as you go through the queen‘s reign.
pickWhat a treat to revisit this world after so many years! I love this series and Bitterblue was no exception.

pickI loved how this had several familiar characters from previous books. I also could relate to Bitterblue who was the main character.
This wasn't really easy book to read because this wasn't happy at all - more like disturbing.
This was a bit too long and for that wasn't as intriguing as this could have been. Still this had realistic characters and I enjoyed the world.

so-soCashore has shown readers that she can write any number of strong female leads of all types, and with bitterblue, she has rounded out the emotional spectrum in all 3 books. This book was much darker, heavier, and more serious than the 2 previous, and aptly so. Being able to see our favorite characters later on, surviving and processing trauma, was a deeply emotional experience to read but go into it very carefully.
so-soBitterblue isn't the most literarily dense book, it's a clear ya fantasy, but the political ecosystem is so finely articulate while still being wholly simple & straightforward & I loved it. She created a kingdom of deception that includes so many moving parts while steering clear of the dreaded info-dumping that plagues books that extend too far. Bitterblue walks u through mysteries of her kingdom & I loved uncovering the secrets kept from her.
Ideas were growing in all directions and dimensions; they were becoming a sculpture, or a castle. And then everyone left her, to return to their own affairs; and she was alone, and empty and unbelieving again. How acutely sometimes the presence or absence of people mattered
Late to the party and had no clue this was happening till I walked into my local indie today and saw a wonderful surprise on the shelf! I love the Graceling realm books and am so excited that the story continues. #Graceling #NewIn
