I liked this book much more than Graceling. While the character of Fire is a little frustrating (especially towards the end with all of the crying), I liked her more than Katsa from Graceling. ( )

It would be really long and involved for me to repeat a plot summary for this book, I realized as I began to attempt it, so I don't think I'll take the time this time. However, it is worth it for me to say that I enjoyed Fire very much.

I loved Fire. I loved pretty much everyone associated with the Royal family. There was a lot of sadness in this book, but it was worth it. I made time for it and gobbled it up while on a very busy vacation because I enjoyed it so much. ( )

Great book - great writer. A companion to "Graceling", Fire is a 'monster' of great beauty - you are compelled to love or hate her. In this book we learn the 'why' of Leck (the evil one in Graceling). In a nutshell: strong female who discovers that opening one's heart can actually make one stronger. ( )

This "companion" novel to Graceling tells an even richer and deeper story. The book begins with the birth of Leck, a graceling (person with an extraordinary power) who appears in Graceling, but the protagonist is Fire, a young woman in the Dells, a separate isolated country ( )

I usually don't read fantasy, but these Graceling books are quite good. They keep the interest up and are really well-written. I feel like I can recommend these books to a variety of different kids. ( )
