goodreads summary:
The long-awaited companion to New York Times bestsellers Graceling and Fire
Eight years after Graceling, Bitterblue is now queen of Monsea. But the influence of her father, a violent psychopath with mind-altering abilities, lives on. Her advisors, who have run things since Leck died, believe in a forward-thinking plan: Pardon all who committed terrible acts under Leck's reign, and forget anything bad ever happened. But when Bitterblue begins sneaking outside the castle--disguised and alone--to walk the streets of her own city, she starts realizing that the kingdom has been under the thirty-five-year spell of a madman, and the only way to move forward is to revisit the past.
Two thieves, who only steal what has already been stolen, change her life forever. They hold a key to the truth of Leck's reign. And one of them, with an extreme skill called a Grace that he hasn't yet identified, holds a key to her heart.
review:
this is gonna be a shitty review, i'm to damn tired to really write anything. i just really don't know what to say, i think that there was to much un necessary details which just made it longer than it needed to be. i mean it took me almost a month to read. who do you think you are, anne rice? anyway i wouldn't recommend this to a younger teen audience as it is violent. we can now see just how fucked up leck was and how badly he fucked up his advisers. and now some of the things that didn't really make sense to me in fire now do. anyway if you've read gracling and fire i think you should read this cause ya.
again i apologize how shitty this review is but what can i say i'm tired and i have better things to do.
