Nothing could compare to The Firekeeper's Daughter, but Angeline is a wonderful author no matter what. This story is heart-wrenching, challenging, and beautiful all in one. It is fun and captivating, but handles deep and complex topics.

A bit heavy handed with all the lessons. But that is par for YA.

A bit of a slow start/rushed ending in my opinion but I liked the overall structure and really enjoyed reading another of Boulley's stories, this time with even more important information packed in!
