I liked this a lot. I liked that the Graces weren't straightforward or unchanging, people were still learning about them the way they learn about themselves as they grow. I liked seeing Katsa's emotional development as she experienced support and intimacy,
and her romance with Po was really, very sweet.

Oh wow I inhaled this book. It’s so great to find characters I love and a world I can lose myself in.

*reread from adolescence*

Definitely holds up as a fun story, although in retrospect much hornier than I remember (neutral)
