It took me a while to fully immerse in the plot, but once I did I found it almost as unique a tale as Graceling. This is the story of healing from abuse--but abuse of an entire kingdom, as well as of a queen coming into her power. I didn't feel that Bitterblue was as personal as Graceling was, which is probably the only reason I rated it 4 stars instead of 5.
