Bitterblue by Kristin Cashore

5.0

I read Graceling and Fire with unbelievable speed and extreme enthusiasm. I loved both books so much and could not wait for Bitterblue to come out. I waited at least two years and all that waiting was certainly not in vain. Bitterblue is incredible. It is so much more complex than the first two books, but it brings everything together. In it we discover how Monsea is still plagued by King Leck's tortuous reign. Bitterblue becomes suspicious of her advisers, clerks, the Monsean guard, and her own friends. By venturing out at night to peruse her city streets, she discovers truths about her kingdom that she could never have imagined. With Po, Katsa, Giddon, Saf, Teddy, and Death, Bitterblue is able to create a new way of life for Monsea. With new neighbors to the East and friends both new and old, Bitterblue realizes that she is strong enough to be queen.
