I, a great fan of Kristin Cashore's Gracling, was very much in doubt with this book. The description of the book held me off for a couple of months, reading other good books, and when I found a copy of Fire in my local library, I thought to give it a try. And I'm glad I did.

This book is about a girl named Fire. Fire has this terrible curse called beauty. Doesn't sound so bad, does it? Well, Fire comes from a world in which monsters live. Monsters of all sorts: bugs, cats, birds, etc. These monsters are none of your run of the mill monsters either. All the monsters are beautiful, including the ravishing and last human monster, Fire. All monsters crave other monster blood and have some kind of mind control. Fire on the other hand could just look a person and have him walk off a cliff.

The author has made this a more heaver story then I first expected, but all the more better. The book also tells that not all families, friends, or people are perfect. We are make mistakes and we must learn from them. I also really liked that Kristin Cashore, when writing the romantic element, didn't write that everyone was innocent; hence the mistake part.

Well done Kristen Cashore... well done.
