carleesi's review against another edition

4.5

I loved the world and the magic of the Graces. The characters were wonderful and the creation of a villain without the need for specific graphic descriptions of his violence was refreshing to read.

I wish there’d been more female characters - in the beginning Katsa was giving me “not like other girls” vibes. 

The ending is great and makes some amends for the lack of female characters in the story. I loved the challenging of heteronormative expectations as well - having a female protagonist who doesn’t want kids or care about marriage will always grab my heart.
