Wishlist Wednesday is a book blog hop where we will post about one book per week that has been on our wishlist for some time, or just added (it's entirely up to you), that we can't wait to get off the wishlist and onto our wonderful shelves.
Katsa has been able to kill a man with her bare hands since she was eight - she's a Graceling, one of the rare people in her land born with an extreme skill. As niece of the king, she should be able to live a life of privilege, but Graced as she is with killing, she is forced to work as the king's thug.
When she first meets Prince Po, Graced with combat skills, Katsa has no hint of how her life is about to change.
She never expects to become Po's friend.
She never expects to learn a new truth about her own Grace - or about a terrible secret that lies hidden far away...

For this week, I decided to do something a little different. While it's true that I am looking forward to this book, it has also been on my list for a long time. So long, in fact, that it got pushed down my to-read list and somewhat buried.
Okay, this book has several things going for it. It's a fantasy novel and not just that, but also a novel featuring an assassin. I love assassins. And that cover... I really like this one - a lot more than the other - and I hope this is the cover I get when I buy the book. But, I must say, what is up with 'Prince Po'? I suppose it's too much to hope for that 'Po' is just a nickname.
So, that's my wishlist book this week. And, it will probably be one of the next book's I order. So, what do you guys think?
My brother has been telling me great things about this book for a couple of years now, ever since he read it himself and loved it. I guess I need to give in and read it, too!
ReplyDeleteYeah, I've heard from many people that it's a really good book. I cannot believe I'd almost forgotten about it. Thanks for commenting.
DeleteI've seen this book on quite a few top ten fantasy lists. Clearly I'm missing out on something. :)
ReplyDeleteHappy Reading

I know. This book is one that I just keep hearing about. Thanks for commenting.
DeleteI got this at first, because of the cover, but then never read it, because I accidentally ordered one with another cover, and then I just didn't feel like reading anymore, which is sort of ridiculous. But I keep wanting to pick it up and just read it, because it sounds so good! Great pick!

I love this cover. The other one is kind of...meh. It really is amazing how book covers can draw your attention so well. Thanks for commenting.
DeleteVery interesting book. I hope you get it soon!
