You know, I proudly consider myself NOT a girly girl, but I think part of that is because growing up I didn't read a lot of feminine heroes who kicked butt. The cool ones, to me, were the ones who were more tomboyish. Now that I'm older, I'm learning to embrace my femininity without losing my "kick butt"-ness -- so I completely agree that it's awesome to see that in literature. "Cap’n Sweet Valley" -- LOL! Please tell me people really call him that! “She also makes Fire a wonderful feminist heroine, not because she can shoot arrows, but because her womanly attributes become her strengths.”

When I started Fire, I was disappointed. I'd really wanted a sequel to Graceling. I felt like Graceling was a little unfinished, and I wanted to at least see what happened to them, even if it was in a periphery sort of way. Going backwards just didn't do it for me. But I still intend to read it, and I'm sure I'll enjoy it, once I give it a chance. I totally agree with you about feminine heroines. When I started Fire, I was disappointed.

Here in New Zealand I've spotted Fire in the adult section (I've never actually seen Graceling on the shelves, despite my hours of searching), and I've seen a few other crossover novels that jump about from YA to adult between stores. So NA is about already it seems, we just don't know it? I’ve only read Graceling, but Fire is next up on my “to buy” list and the more I hear about its awesome, the more excited I am.
