What readers are saying about this book
Summarized by Pango AI
PangoBooks readers praise the novel for its captivating blend of darkness, humor, and an engaging adventure. They appreciate the unique concept of "Graces," which add depth to the characters and the storyline. The protagonist, Katsa, stands out as a refreshingly atypical female lead in YA literature—strong, independent, and more than capable of taking care of herself. While some readers found her personality a bit abrasive at times, they enjoyed her character development and the intricacies of her relationships, particularly with Po. Overall, the book is seen as a mature take on YA fantasy, offering an exciting story that appeals to a wide audience.
