I superficially enjoyed those moments as she struggled with her anger, her thoughts, her morals

I usually hate reading about one MC being really mad at the other especially when they're current or obviously future LIs. But I didn't really mind it here, because I thought it was honest and it showed that they could go through hell and high water with each other and come out okay. It was well done.

Additionally I'd love to explore those with mind reading Graces (that are public knowledge), their role in the world and how they live their lives. Katsa doesn't trust them (except Po), and I get the sense they're generally not trusted, and even feared by many. It might be even worse than being in Katsa's position. And I almost got a vibe of "I may be a monstrous killer, but at least I'm not a mind reader". Like that was the only thing that would make society hate her more.

Also there are clearly different kinds of mind readers.

Yeah, now I really want more of this lol

Agreed so hard about Katsa and Bitterblue <333

I did feel a little weird about the Ultimate Reveal of her and Po's Graces. I felt the synopsis was rather misleading with both of them having *totally* different Graces from what the reader was originally led to believe. I loved Po's reveal, probably more than Katsa's, but in the end it was like "these guys aren't just strong, they're SUPERPOWERED!". Still, as I said in my comment, it was grounded by the way they struggled with their Graces.
