Fire

by: Kristin Cashore (author)

3.00 5

A must-read title for all fans of Patrick Rothfuss and Trudi Canavan, FIREis 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. 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 stand against not only his enemies, but also against herself . . .
