I had a vague nagging feeling that I'd totally forgotten the other books on the shortlist when I yayed about Flora's Dare having won - oops! You're right about its having got a LOT less buzz than Graceling though - and also a lot less than the only other one of the shortlist I've read, The Adoration of Jenna Fox. (Graceling would beat it NO problem for me.) Buzz in YA is -- complicated sometimes, I guess.
