About the book

A must-read title for all fans of Patrick Rothfuss and Trudi Canavan, FIRE is an exceptional fantasy novel. From the deft characterisation to the gripping story, the fast-paced action to the evocative prose, this is one of the strongest fantasy novels of the year.
Set in a world of stunningly beautiful, exceptionally dangerous monsters, Fire is one of the most dangerous monsters of all - a human one. Marked out by her vivid red hair, she's more than attractive. Fire is mesmerising.
But with this extraordinary beauty comes influence and power. People who are susceptible to her appeal will do anything for her attention, and for her affection. They will turn away from their families, their work, and their duties for her. They will forget their responsibilities to please her ... and worse, crush nations, neglect kingdoms and abuse their power.
Aware of her power, and afraid of it, Fire lives in a corner of the world away from people, and away from temptation. Until the day comes when she is needed - a day when, for her king, she has to take a stand not only against his enemies, but also against herself ...

    DNF at 65%. I just couldn't care less. I didn't like the characters, the plot was boring. After almost 300 pages I still didn't know where it was going. We were just following the same routine, day after day after day. Why not tell more about the story, the monsters, the history of the land? Give the characters more depth. But no. They just start liking each other without reason (even though they hate each other when meeting for the first time) or get jealous. The decision making was just...questionable? The age gaps, the never ending sex desires and the two pregnancies at once were too much. I loved Graceling. But this book was not for me.

    While I liked Graceling by Kristin Cashore, I adored Fire. Although I had some trouble starting, the book more than made up for it. What great world building and creative magic system.
