It is not a peaceful time in the Dells. The young King Nash clings to his throne while rebel lords in the north and south build armies to unseat him. The mountains and forests are filled with spies and thieves and lawless men.
This is where Fire lives. With a wild, irresistible appearance and hair the color of flame, Fire is the last remaining human monster. Equally hated and adored, she had the unique ability to control minds, but she guards her power, unwilling to steal the secrets of innocent people. Especially when she has so many of her own.
Then Prince Brigan comes to bring her to King City, The royal family needs her help to uncover the plot against the king. Far away from home, Fire begins to realize there's more to her power than she ever dreamed. Her power could save the kingdom.
If only she weren't afraid of becoming the monster her father was.

Ok........ so I loved Graceling. It was awesome! The fighting, the humor, the romance, the characters, the surroundings, the graces. And then to read this..... big disappointment. Don't get me wrong it had its good moments but they didn't come close to outweighing the bad moments. Alright, in Graceling you can see and read when the lead characters express their love/attraction for each other. You can understand it even. But in this book, its like "Huh?". One minute they're talking and the next they're hugging? What? And they don't seem to want to get married, at least in Graceling they talked and discussed it.
I just hope Bitterblue can redeem this book.
Also Archer, shame on you!
