GRACELING: GRAPHIC NOVEL BY KRISTIN CASHORE

Goodreads Description:

The beloved New York Times best-selling YA fantasy by Kristin Cashore is now available as a graphic novel, with stunning illustrations by award-winning artist Gareth Hinds.

Katsa is a Graceling, one of the rare people born with an extreme skill. As niece of the king, she lived a life of privilege until the day her ability to kill a man with her bare hands revealed itself during a royal banquet. Now she acts as her uncle’s enforcer, traveling the kingdom and threatening those who dare oppose him.
 
But everything changes when she meets Po, a foreign prince Graced with combat skills who is searching for the truth about his grandfather’s disappearance. When Katsa agrees to help him, she never expects to learn a new truth about her own Grace—or about a terrible secret that could destroy them all.

With "gorgeous storytelling" (School Library Journal, starred review) and characters "crafted with meticulous devotion" (Kirkus Reviews, starred review), Graceling is a beloved classic that has continued to resonate with readers for over a decade.

Paperback, 272 pages

It is no secret that these books are my most favorite. <3 And oh my gods, how excited I am about this graphic novel :D Ahh! It's going to be so beautiful and so very perfect. Gosh. I cannot wait to finally see Katsa and Po being brought to life :) I rarely read graphic novels about books, despite owning many. But this. This one I will read the moment it arrives. Because I know I will love it to pieces, eee :) And so pretty.
