Kristin Cashore never ceases to amaze me. I freaking loved getting to know Hava and the little kits and Hope. I can’t recommend Cashore more- she does truth, honestly, growth, and the wonderment and struggles of being a woman in a world catered to men world. Wonderfully and happily queer without being queer hating. I love this woman. Would have gotten five stars but the beginning took a little too long. Once we find out what Kera is up to, then the book really begins. Overall, yet again, perfection.

i first read Graceling when i was 11, and it was my favourite book for years afterwards, closely followed by Fire and Bitterblue. i was so excited to return to the Graceling Realm with Winterkeep and Seasparrow, and let me tell you, Kristin Cashore did not disappoint.

this book was remarkably profound and addressed some heavy topics; yet, at the same time, my heart was warmed by the love the characters have for one another (and the love i have for them). filled with exciting action, funny moments, character growth, and a fascinating exploration of how the world works (both scientifically and politically), i was just as engrossed in Seasparrow as i was in Graceling ten years ago. i am so glad that my oldest favourite series withstood the test of time.
