 Your enjoyment of this book is going to depend entirely on whether or not you like the characters. I know there is a decent sized contingency of people who like Graceling and don't care for Fire or Bitterblue. As a teenager, I loved the whole trilogy and didn’t understand why others didn’t. Now that I'm rereading them as an adult I feel the same, but I understand where those people are coming from. Graceling is the outlier in the trilogy. Its much more plot focused than the other two, so if you need action in your fantasy to enjoy it you may not like this one or its sequel as much. There's political stuff going on, and there is a war, but the book is not about that really. It's about Fire and her journey and her growth. Personally, I love this cast of characters in general and Fire specifically, so I was invested in her journey and thus loved the book.
