It's been a while since I've come across such a difficult book to write about. Part of the issue involves the subject matter, themes, and ideas in Firebrand which all seem at variance with each other. This in turn gives me mixed feelings about the novel, because I struggle to even pin it down.For ex...

First I just want to thank Gillian for giving me this chance to review such a wonderful story. I feel in love from the first few pages and this now has a special place within my heart.Firebrand is the first in a new fantasy series by Gillian Philip.
