 | Graceling by Kristin Cashore
Buy new: $11.56 / Used from: $5.27 Wonderful book with amazing characterization. As a friend described it, "The summary makes it sound like the story of a girl who learns to use her Grace, but it is the story of a killer who learns to be a girl."
Note that some people have issues with the issues it brings up, such as not marrying and sex (and birth control!) before/without marriage.
