Graceling or Curseling

If you had one superpower, or grace, what would it be? In "Graceling" By Kristin Cashore the main character Katsa has a grace but unfortunately for Katsa, she didn't get to choose her grace. If Katsa had the ability to choose her grace she probably would not have chosen a killing grace.

Katsa has the "grace" to kill anyone with little to no effort. Once Katsa fully realizes what exactly her grace is about, she does not like having the grace. She has the ability to easily kill anyone and yet when her Uncle recruits her for his purposes. she does not kill. Katsa's grace seems likes more of a curse then a grace. Through out the story Katsa struggles with her grace because it is quite a responsibility have the ability to kill with ease. While struggling with her grace, she meets a boy which adds in another part of her life to struggle with. A girl with a grace that most people would see as lucky does not see herself as quite as lucky.

To see how Katsa deals with her grace and her relationship read "Graceling" by Kristin Cashore.
