I was a little conflicted about this book when it started but as it finished I got more and more excited about it.
I didn't like the romantic (or lack of) aspect in this novel. I felt like there could have been a stronger relationship between Saf and Bitterblue.
I LOVED finding out more about Leck and his story after his demise. That was probably the best part just because there was so much mystery surround him and his origins and exactly why the way he was. Finding little clues as to his horrific reign and the people involved were definitely a treat.
I thought it was interesting how Cashore focused so much on how Bitterblue felt about being queen and about how out of control the whole situation was. I never really had a book that specified how a queen/king really felt and the day to day hardships they faced while running their kingdom.
I loved how Katsa, Po, and Giddon found their way in the story as it was so good to see them. They were not in FIRE so it was good to see them back how I remembered them.
The ending was so great! And the possibilties of the ending were so immense, I wish there was a fourth book in the making. After reading the book and the history of Leck and who came to visit Bitterblue, I was dying for a fourth book...
I'm going to change my star rating from 4 to 5 now, just thinking about it. I'm still in shock over the whole thing.
Bitterblue really grew as a young woman in this novel and it was good to see her as a child in Graceling and as an adult in Bitterblue. I loved this book!!
