Not as appropriate for younger children to read because some of the atrocities from which Bitterblue is trying to help her country move on were horrible enough to make the tone of the book quite dark in places. But still a joy to read.

I thought Bitterblue was an okay character in Graceling but I'm not sure I want to read a full story about her and her problems. Thanks for the review, Chel!

Fire is my favorite book EVER, but Bitterblue was too slow and had waaay too many plot threads for me to enjoy it. I love the concept of it and I thought it improved a LOT by the end, but by then it was almost too late to salvage the novel overall. *sigh* Wonderful review, though! I know Cashore is working on a contemporary novel now and is thinking about returning to this world again too, so I'll be looking forward to her future works as well! :DKeertanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01071392026876644282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4955255723371756696.post-71766917411236412362012-09-15T22:55:11.091+08:002012-09-15T22:55:11.091+08:00Oh, I'm sorry you end up not liking this, Chel...Oh, I'm sorry you end up not liking this, Chel.
