There are very few books that have no metaphors or similes. Good writers always paint a picture with words: a metaphor compares two unlike things, and in Graceling, we see that Lady Katsa is referred to as a "murderous dog" for example-- she is of course a person, not a dog; but she is compared to one. If you look through the book, you will also find places where the author (Kristin Cashore) uses similes-- these compare two unlike things, but they use the words "like" or "as" to make the comparison-- for example, Helda is carrying a dress that is "bright as the tomatoes that clustered on the vine..." Obviously, a dress is not the same thing as a tomato, but the author wants to give you the image of how it is a bright red color.
