I think I need to re-read Graceling before tackling the rest.

I listened to Fire on audio not long ago as a reminder of things so hopefully I remember everything.Candacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01701325312535440179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1211090800803751472.post-51432691010214088042012-07-31T22:55:12.111-05:002012-07-31T22:55:12.111-05:00I didn't like Graceling as much as everyone el...I didn't like Graceling as much as everyone else, but it's because I'm not very into high fantasy, plus I didn't like Katsa, but I did love Bitterblue, so I've been eager to get to her story, but I still haven't read Fire. I will take your suggestion and read it before Bitterblue, but I am looking forward to the new kind of enemy. It a different approach to have to battle your memories and reconstruct your kingdom. And while I'm sad that the romance is light, I think I can handle that well enough by getting lost in the story. <br /><br />Fantastic review!Missie, The Unread Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10548256640926555361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1211090800803751472.post-32633587944000996752012-07-31T19:25:51.639-05:002012-07-31T19:25:51.639-05:00@Heather: Yes, each book focuses on a new kingdom ...@Heather: Yes, each book focuses on a new kingdom but they build upon key events and people in the books, especially with King Leck. Each book can be read as a standalone but I think after you read one you'd want to read the other.Rummanah Aasihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12119402559076729383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1211090800803751472.post-89545011964193299552012-07-31T18:44:07.968-05:002012-07-31T18:44:07.968-05:00Rummanah, I've only read Graceling but I reall...Rummanah, I've only read Graceling but I really enjoyed it even if I wasn't too thrilled with the way things ended with Po and Katsa. I've heard people say Fire is better so I'm hoping to read that and Bitterblue someday. I'm so happy that more fantasies are being written :)A Canadian Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07127164685941412250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1211090800803751472.post-32406434894501104842012-07-31T18:30:28.317-05:002012-07-31T18:30:28.317-05:00I haven't read this series yet.

But I have wanted to read this series. I don't understand how the books span so many years. Are they each different kingdoms? Are the books meant to be standalones?<br /><br />Heather<br /><br />Oh, that is an excellent review. It sounds like a confusing book (that's my problem with fantasy) but you've explained it so well, it makes perfect sense. My wallet thanks you (not)!BURIED IN BOOKShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18205451716054533728noreply@blogger.com
