I read this graphic novel in anticipation to re-read the Graceling series. I read it years ago back in high school and ADORED it, especially the third book Bitterblue. I even cosplayed as Bitterblue one year for Halloween (although you could argue I was cosplaying as a princess, but in my heart it was Bitterblue)
I really love this story about going beyond what you’re taught and conquering your fears about yourself. Katsa has great character growth. She’s already admirable in the beginning because of her fighting skills, but she becomes admirable because of her heart and morals toward the end.
Po and Kats are the sweetest couple and really do match each other in so many ways.
But the art style wasn’t what I was expecting, and to be honest, it made Katsa look a little off.
If you liked this, check out Reboot. It’s a sci-fi dystopian story, but the main character of Reboot deals with a lot of similar struggles as Katsa
