Graceling by Kristin Cashore
An award-winning YA fantasy set in a fascinating imaginary world and populated by an intriguing cast of characters, including Katsa, a young woman “graced” with the skills of an assassin and bound by law to a selfish king.

The Hakawati by Rabin Alameddine
One of my favorite books of all time! It’s a story within a story within a story! A fictional story builds alongside a real one, laden with allusion and metaphor, leading the reader to re-examine how he/she’s understood the story thus far. Highly irreverent, beautifully written and fully engaging – a story for the ages!
