This is a book i picked up several times at bookstores when i gone in the cover just screams great fantasy read. I was thrilled when i found a copy for 2.00 at my local goodwill. It sat on my shelf for a long time and then i picked it up this weekend. This book has a great premise to it and kept me reading at good steady pace up until about the middle where it did seem to drag quite a bit like the girl of fire and thorns when she traveling in the valley. I did like how it all got summed up in a pretty neat bow at the end so it was not a heart wrenching cliff hanger making me scream for book two. I am intrigured to see what the other graces are that are to be discovered in book two. I mostly rated it a 3 as i did not feel that i got a great sense of the world that the story takes place in, mostly felt like she just jumped around from place to place and then took a long trip with Po. So a mediorce read for me but they can't all be 5 stars.
