reading a graceling realm book is like. i am going to rub you raw. i am going to strip you down and expose your weakest, most shameful parts, and i am going to see you. i am going to exfoliate you. i am going to wrap you in the softest, gentlest, kindest hug while you let out the longest, deepest breath you didn’t know you had within you.

#graceling #kristin cashore #this is especially true of bitterblue winterkeep and seasparrow imo #the way she handles trauma and community and loneliness #the way the magical elements of the story are simply meant to show us something about a character's humanity - or lack thereof #and of course. the way the male leads are Peak Man Written By A Woman god bless #look graceling will always be my personal favorite but i think about bitterblue on the bridge every day #i think about how i sobbed while reading winterkeep and it felt GOOD #i think about how seasparrow picked apart shame i didn't even know i was holding and said - let it go
