October 11, 2009"Fire" by Kristin Cashore is a mesmerizing read from start to finish. Written as a companion novel to "Graceling" this book introduces a totally new set of characters in a world called 'The Dells'. Fire is the last of her kind, a human monster, with breathtaking beauty and the ability to influence minds. She leaves her home and her friend and lover Archer to travel to King City where the royal family hopes her power will help them understand the workings of their enemies and help hold their fragile kingdom together.
Cashore has a way of bringing to life a fantasy world that seems real from page one. You develop an empathy and understanding for the characters in the book and it won't be easy to put this book down once you start reading it. Absolutely recommended, it was one of my favorite books this year.
