Fire by Kristin Cashore

The kingdom of the Dells is in turmoil. Three rulers vy for power, using war tactics, spies, and backstabbing tactics. Out of the three, Nash is definetely the best to rule. From the north and the south, there are armies readying themselves for war. Fire, the last human monster in existance, has the potential to help Nash and his brother, Brigan, win the war, and ensure that a tyrant doesn't end up on the throne. With her keen ability to not only read minds, but control them, she is wrapped up in her fear that she will misuse her power, and become like her father. This book is for someone who really likes internal conflicts and is a classic fantasy. I really like how Fire's past is revealed partially, so you are kept waiting for the rest of the story! You should check this out if you're trying out a new genre, you might just fall in love!

  1. That sounds really cool, Priyanka. I especially like how Fire has that superpower, as something like that is something I, as well as many other people, wish to have. The whole book overall seems very suspenseful!

  3. After reading Graceling I am excited to get started on this book. I have found that Kristin Cashore has unique ideas but still have a story with elements that are relatable and not too new or alienating. This will probably be a great read.
