About the book
Enter the Graceling Realm and let it work its magic in this unforgettable novel from New York Times bestselling author Kristin Cashore.
When Queen Bitterblue took the throne of Monsea, she was a child, and her advisers ran the kingdom for her. Now she is beginning to question their decisions, especially how they handle the legacy of her father Leck, who who ruled through his Grace—a special talent for mind-altering—and his taste for darkness and violence. Bitterblue needs to know Monsea’s past to lead it into the future, so she begins exploring the city sreets at night, disguised and alone. As she does, she meets two thieves, who hold a key to the truth of Leck's reign. And one of them, with a Grace that he hasn't yet identified, holds a key to her heart.
Bitterblue is a gateway to the Graceling Realm that braids together magic, memory, and romance.
Look for Kristin Cashore's highly-anticipated return to the Graceling Realm, Winterkeep!
"Some authors can tell a good story; some can write well. Cashore is one of the rare novelists who do both. Thrillingly imagined and beautifully executed, Bitterblue stands as a splendid contribution in a long literarly tradition." —The New York Times Book Review on Bitterblue
* "Brilliantly detailed and brimming with vibrant and dynamic characters." —SLJ, starred review of Bitterblue
“There are some books that stick with you for years, and Kristen Cashore’s Fire is one of them. Thoughtful, steamy and completely original, Fire is YA fantasy at its absolute best.”—Sabaa Tahir, author of New York Times bestselling Ember in the Ashes on Fire

4.0Just like how in King of Scars and Rule of Wolves I was living for the Six of Crows references, I was living for the Fire references in this. Bitterblue is based back in the seven kingdoms eight years after Graceling. We are now following Bitterblue as queen who's trying to deal with the after effects of her father, King Leck's, reign. I really enjoyed Bitterblue. It's not my favourite from the series, that was Fire, and I think I probably preferred Graceling but I did still really enjoy it. I love Kristen Cashore's writing and the way that she approaches her books. She realises when she's done something she shouldn't have and corrects herself and acknowledges it, something that's really important. Also I don't know what it is about her actual writing style but I love it and find it really enjoyable to read. The characters were amazing as always and it was great to see characters from the previous books. Katsa and Po well their relationship has just grown so much and is wonderful. Giddon has definitely improved and not just because of who's perspective we were reading him from. Raffin and Bann may not have been key players or major characters in the same way the others were but I still loved seeing them and their relationship. I'm not going to say anything about the Fire references as some may count those as a spoiler, but I loved them and wished for more. The new characters were great too. Obviously Bitterblue wasn't really a new character to us seeing as we met her in Graceling but we really got to get to know her in Bitterblue and understand what she's like. Saf was a really interesting character who made a lot of good points, as well as Teddy. And I just want to get to know Hava better. I was hooked throughout this and am so glad I finally got round to reading it. Highly recommend the whole series.
