After finishing Fire I am officially a huge Cashore fan! I loved Graceling and several people had told me Fire wasn’t nearly as good.
I disagree.
I loved Fire even more. This was a much more character-driven story than Graceling and even though I’d loved that one a lot, this one was more powerful and even more interesting because I learned more about each character and grew to like them all in their unique way. I loved that several of the characters matured throughout the story and others had more layers than what was visible. I really really enjoyed this novel and cannot wait to read more of Kristin Cashore.
I hear Bitterblue is coming next!
I think I liked Fire more than Graceling because the end of Graceling was sort of “ehhhh” to me. I love the characters in both novels, however. Have you ever read Shannon Hale’s teen fantasy series? (It starts with Goose Girl.) I think if you like Kristin Cashore you’d like that series, too!
off to check her out right now!! thank you 🙂
