3.0

Rough around the edges with a climatic confrontation that's over in a flash, but I admire what Cashore was doing here with the theme of escaping abuse and finding yourself / beginning to flourish afterwards. I also appreciate Cashore's inclusion of a nontraditional relationship with Katsa's insistence on never getting married or having children. I remember that made quite an impact on me back when I first read this book as a teenager.
