graceling by kristin cashore

i picked this book up sometime last year and have only now just got around to reading it.

it was okay. brain candy, beach reading sort of material.

as i'm writing this review several months later, i don't really have much to say. it's a bout a girl with a "grace" (a special ability). hers is the ability to kill with her bare hands (or is it?).

through the course of the story she rebels against her uncle and his use of her an an enforcer, discovers a conspiracy, goes on a quest, meets a boy . . . you get the picture.

good enough to get through, but i wouldn't necessarily pass it on to anyone and i have no desire to read any more books in the series.
