I read half of Graceling (the novel) a while ago. It was good but I had gotten too busy to finish it. I found the graphic novel of it sometime later and loved it. The pictures and the words both immersed me in a world that felt so original and complete, I felt like I was living alongside Katsa's experiences. It felt a little rushed at the end but it all comes together so nicely. I definitely recommend both the novel and the graphic novel to YA and Fantasy readers.
