Companion to Graceling
This is a "companion" to Graceling in that it technically takes place in the same world. But there is only one graceling in this story, and he's not terribly significant. Instead, there are "monsters"- organisms, from insect to human, gifted with what can be most simply described as incredible charisma. They are beautiful and alluring, with psychic powers.
I enjoyed this book and I was glad it wasn't a sequel to Graceling. Yet again, this book stars a child-free heroine (although this character actually wants and likes children) and is an exciting adventure. It's not as well done as Graceling but it's worth reading.
