A review by bsolarz
The Fever and the Flame by Mary Hooper

3.0

This book was intended for a much younger audience - probably around 12 years of age. However, considering it was meant for that specific age demographic, I found it somewhat enjoyable with enough action and romance to satisfy a wide range of tweens. There were very few times that the book seemed to drone on, which I find is very rare with books that I pick up nowadays. Overall, I did not personally find it the most riveting book but would recommend it to 12 year olds who are looking for a younger version of the Hunger Games.
Oh, and this book, while set in the 1600's, is not heavy on the language of that era which I much appreciated.
