2. Graceling by Kristin Cashore : First in a series (although from what I understand, Fire, the second book, is more like a prequel) “In a world where some people are born with extreme and often-feared skills called Graces, Katsa struggles for redemption from her own horrifying Grace, the Grace of killing, and teams up with another young fighter to save their land from a corrupt king.”

She goes to Texas Prairie University where she is tormented by the popular girls—but that’s the least of her worries.
