I have reread her Tortall books so many times I could almost recite the beginning of most of them. <br /><br />I agree that Graceling was on the more graphical violent side which a lot of YA books are tending towards in this day and age. It's definitely not a middlegrade read. <br /><br />Have you tried the Eon: Dragoneye series?

I haven't made it very far into this third instalment but I do believe it's going to be an improvement on the second book which was a lot of a travelogue on their way to China and was tedious at times. Hopefully you'll be able to see my thoughts on it soon. <br />Have a lovely week.Di @ Book Reviews by Dihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03021249735871126514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8550686855548215615.post-2979261469427031022016-07-12T10:00:30.685+02:002016-07-12T10:00:30.685+02:00Graceling was good but a little too violent for my...Graceling was good but a little too violent for my taste. I liked Alanna: The First Adventure a bit more for this type of story. I'm sure Adulthood is a Myth is funny, but I'm old enough that I wish more people would BE adults! Put on real clothes!
