I've always wanted to read Graceling by Kristin Cashore so when I saw there was a graphic novel adaption I was super excited!

The magic system in which people can have 'graces' was super fun and I loved our main character Katsa. The relationship between her and the main male protagonist was beautifully developed.

I know graphic novel artworks is very subjective, so although the art wasn't my favourite I could still see the talent involved. I also felt that this lacked some world building and had some stilted dialogue that would probably be solved in the full length novel.

Criticisms aside this was a great fast paced young adult fantasy graphic novel that I would recommend if you're new to YA graphic novels or an existing fan of the Graceling series.

Thank you to NetGalley and the Clarion Books for an advanced reader copy.
