Twilight & Philosophy:
Yes, someone wrote a book.
Interested?
When I first read Graceling, I knew it would be a romance. The book was a birthday present from my best friend who is very into romance, and the cover blurb was pretty typical of regular fantasy romance fare. Even so, I decided to give Graceling a try, expecting the worst, and was very pleasantly surprised.
If more romance novels were like Graceling, I might actually enjoy the genre. And if more feminist-friendly fantasy had female protagonists as strong and as relatable as Katsa, I think I would be a very happy reader.
