Another Book In The Series...

Fire
By Kristin Cashore

This book goes along with Kristin's first book "Graceling" but could be read on it's own. Despite the fact that "Fire" takes place before "Graceling", a few characters, including a small boy who can control people with his words, still make an appearance.

The book "Fire" takes place in a kingdom called the Dells, which lies separate from the 7 kingdoms mentioned in "Graceling". Fire is the last human-shaped monster, with unimaginable beauty and the ability to control the minds of those around her. Most people either love her too much and become obseessed with her, or hate her and want to kill her. On top of that she has to worry about all the monster animals who would love to eat her. Will she find a good use for her power, or is she destined to be a monster forever?

This is an excellent adventure/romance book for High School readers!
P.S. Keep an eye out for the 3rd book in the series which is suppose to bring the first 2 books together!
