When a child's eyes don't match, it means that they have been Graced. Katsa discovered her Grace when she was eight--the day she killed a grown man with a single blow. When the king found out that she had a killing Grace, he was eager to use her to punish his enemies and scare his people into submission. Katsa hates being the King's enforcer, but she can't change her Grace, and she can't disobey a King. At least, that's what always thought until she met a boy with mismatched eyes who could hold his own in a fight against her. Soon her whole world is turned upside down and Katsa is fighting for higher stakes than ever before.
Strength, brains, integrity--Katsa has it all! The world building is excellent and the plot is action-packed without sacrificing characterization and meaty questions of morality and justice. Fans of Katniss in the Hunger Games trilogy will enjoy reading about Katsa.
