There was something about this book that didn't gel with me as easily, something sort of distrubing about Fire and her powers that I haven't been able to put my finger on yet. But yes, the book has great politics and characters and not a totally happy ending, which can be nice sometimes.Kim (Sophisticated Dorkiness)http://sophisticateddorkiness.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6000858382516594426.post-71771151548460688322010-01-29T21:10:36.369-05:002010-01-29T21:10:36.369-05:00Kailana, ha, Freudian slip!

I finally caved to all the good sensible people talking about its wonders and its flaws, including you :) Fire sounds like the issues some people had with character development have been ironed out. <br /><br />Authors I always keep up with because they are consitently good story tellers include Terry Pratchett (obs), Anthony Capella and Joanne Harris, oh and I'll buy anything new that Pat Barker writes even though I'm still catching up on her published novels.Jodiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11462660276240016464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6000858382516594426.post-88466494736364905692010-01-29T15:10:07.181-05:002010-01-29T15:10:07.181-05:00Freshhell, I will still check out any Ruth Rendell...Freshhell, I will still check out any Ruth Rendell or PD James book I find at the library, but I don't always enjoy them.
