Book Recommendation

Graceling is a book filled with cliff hangers, surprising twists and turns, and it has some romance in there( kind of like a 'I'm never going to date' but falls in love kind of thing). I love these kinds of book and I think this book is one of the best. Its like the Hunger Games kind of deal, but it brings something new into the mix. I couldn't wait till I got to the end to figure out what happened but I also didn't want the book to end. Graceling is about a land with 7 kingdoms and 6 nasty kings but 1 kind one. Kasta is the niece on King Randa and has a special set of skills. She can kill in the blink of and eye or just severely hurt you. She has amazing accuracy with anything and can move faster than you can blink. These skills are called a Grace and other people have Graces too but specialize in something else. The ones that are graced have 2 different colored eyes. With no parents and no one to guide her, her uncle takes advantage of her Grace and uses it to his power. Any one who wronged him would get a visit from Kasta. But Kasta never liked doing his work and after awhile she starts a council who dose good for the people. And through the councils mission one day she meets the Graced Leined prince. After they meet each other he starts to stay at her uncles castle and she starts to fall apart. His eyes capture her and she doesn't know what's happening. Soon after they meet Po, the prince, convinced her she doesn't have to do her uncles dirty work if he didn't want to and so she stands up to her uncle and her and Po run off to find his princess cousin who is danger. They embark on what seems to be an impossible rescue mission and Po gets seriously injured. Kasta and the weak princess have to keep traveling and he I slowing them down. Kasta has to make very hard choices and fight for, not only her life, but for the lives of all the kingdoms. You have to read the book to find out what happens next. And you should.
