What's your Grace? (Graceling by Kristin Cashore)

Post by ALynnPowers »

It's been a while since I've read this book, but I loved it so much. The setting was just amazing to me. And even though I thought it was kind of silly to have two different color eyes indicate that someone had a Grace, I also thought it was awesome.

So I want to know:
If you were Graced, what would your skill be? And why do you think so?

I liked this series and was sad to see there was nothing to follow up Bitterblue. I would like to have a Grace of fighting skills. It would be so awesome to be able to jump in and help someone in need or be able to deal with injuries without having a queasy feeling each time you see blood. That would sure come in handy!

I have only read Graceling not any of the other books. Still I enjoyed it immensely. My Grace would probably be math. I am just really good at math. I have always been that way.

yay! I'm so excited people actually replied! I read Graceling ad Fire, but I didn't enjoy Fire as much as I loved Graceling, just because it was the two main characters of Gracelings (whose names I can't think of to save my life right now!) that made me love the story so much. I was going to read Bitterblue, but it was brand new and really expensive at the time, so I didn't buy it then. I kind of forgot about it until just now.

Anyway, as for me, my Grace would be super ninja stealth. Like, I would move completely quietly and sneak up on people and into homes and vanish without anyone ever knowing I was there. I'm always really quiet in real life, and I used to scare one of my coworkers all the time because she could never hear me entering the room. She actually made me wear a bell one day.

I love this series! My Grace would probably be reading super-fast like Death, but I would also love to have a fighting Grace.

My grace would end up being one of the pointless ones like jumping really high or something. I loved Graceling so much though.

First of all, I loved Graceling, Bitterblue and Fire. If I had a Grace, it would probably be fighting, because I do alot of martial arts.

I like to think that my grace would be mind-reading, like Po's. But in reality it would probably be something a lot less cool.

That's pretty much how I feel about myself. Like, I would love to have super intuition (I've been told I have good intuition already) or something that could turn into a mind-reading power like that... but in reality, it would probably just be like, "there's a 30% chance it's already raining" kind of Grace.

I actually have Bitterblue checked out from the library right now. I have read the first two books and really liked Graceling quite a lot. :D As for what my grace would be, I will have to think about it for awhile. It is not an easy choice. :|

For some reason I wouldn't have pegged you as a guy who would read Graceling! 8)

Read Graceling, haven't gotten to the other two books. Really loved it though. My grace would probably be swimming they make it sound pretty lame in the book but i'd love it :P

My grace would probably be something to do with communicating with animals! My other passion besides reading is animals. I have 2 dogs and 3 cats and love every single one! In fact I probably prefer animals over humans :roll:
Here's to hoping for one purple and one blue eye?! :D

Oh nice one! That brings open another topic! What color would your eyes be! One purple and one blue would be great!

I would be weird and kind of want to keep my original eye color, well... for one eye anyway. Maybe I could have one original brown eye and one gold. That would work for me.

This was a very good book. My favorite of the three in its series. I was sad that there wasn't more books because I could see so many different paths Kristin could have went with to write more.

Graceling was very imaginative, I wasn't sure if I was going to like this book and almost did not read it, but I did and I loved it. I am not sure what MY grace would be if I was in this story but I would hope it would be something badass like Katsa!
