Fire Watcher

I think this is my favourite so far, mostly because Elise is able to take care of herself and Remy. They're more of a team rather than the Watcher having to take care of the childish innocent Lightbringer ( )

OK, better. It's still the same story in basic outline, but Elise is very different from both Chess and Mari. I like Remy, too, though again I don't like his conviction that he's 'a useless lump of flesh' except for his Watcher abilities. It was nice that he actually apologized, rather than silently condemning himself but never saying anything to her. And the interactions between the three Watchers are good. The story starts feeling different now - I'll keep reading and hope she expands her repertoire. An excellent story on its own and a good one as an example of Saintcrow's books. ( )
