Must Read Teen Book: Fire / by Kristin Cashore

I loved Kristin Cashore’s “Graceling” so I couldn’t wait to read her next book, “Fire”. I am not disappointed!

The book takes place in the same world as “Graceling” but you do not need to have read the first book before this one (‘though you will want to read that book once you’ve finished this one!).  Meet Fire, more than human she is called a monster, the last of her kind. She is devastatingly beautiful and can read (sometimes control) the minds of those around her.  Most people fear her, some outright loathe her, and a the rest just to want to use her. Caught up in a world of intrigue, spies, and ambushes, Fire has few people she can trust and no one she can truly love.

The audio edition read by Xanthe Elbrick is fabulous and well worth the download.  Fans of fantasy, swashbuckling adventures, or great writing – you must read or listen to “Fire”!
