Review by Grace N.
Who would like this book? Girls who like Graceling would also like this book, but you don’t need to have read Graceling to like this one. It’s very different from Graceling in many ways, setting, characters, etc. It’s none the more fun to read, though! I’m not sure which one I like better, they’re both so good.
The goods on this book: Fire is the last human monster of her kind: Beautiful, entrancing, with the ability to read and control minds, topped off with impossible red, scarlet, gold and pink hair. But Fire will not be the monster her father was. She refuses to control minds except for self defense, and covers her hair with a plain shawl until she meets Prince Brigan, whose mind is a blank slate she can’t even feel. He takes her away to King City and uses her abilities for good, and she tries to save the kingdom though she never thought she could.
