Fire Dancer

Fun, as always. I keep forgetting how much I enjoy this book (yes, it's fluff, but it's nicely-done fluff!) and culling it...then I have to find it again. I have all three books, I'm not letting them go again. Wish there were more... This book was marketed as a romance, but it isn't really. There's certainly no happy-ever-after at the end; they've made steps (Rheba's made steps) towards understanding what the relationship can be, but it's still totally up in the air. As a pulpy SF adventure, it's great - Rheba is the primary protagonist, with Kirtn as a secondary protagonist and a lot of well-drawn secondary characters - Fssa, Ilfn, the J/talls...Lekhet is a total cipher, though - he doesn't even speak. Trauma, I guess, but that's mostly ignored - the fact that he's blind is important, the fact that an 11-year-old boy doesn't speak and clings is merely a fact. If I recall correctly, he becomes more of a person in the later books. Fun, will read the others, will _keep_ the series this time so I can reread it again later! ( )

very good series, never finished ( )
