Katsa’s is killing. As the king’s niece, she is forced to use her extreme skills as his thug. Along the way, Katsa must learn to decipher the true nature of her Grace . . . and how to put it to good use. (via Goodreads.com)
Thoughts: Maybe it was my mood or something else, I felt that I was skimming the book while I was reading it. I felt that somewhere near the beginning of the book that I lost the story. I felt as though I was in a dream-like state rather than fully concentrating on the book and maybe if I had fully concentrated on the book, I may have picked up more on it to give a more comprehensive review, but somehow I fell as though giving a review and a recommendation of the book would be something half-hearted than what I usually post.
Bottom line: I would probably recommend the book to those that like strong female characters and those that really enjoy fantasy.
