A review by jobatkin
Written in Fire by Marcus Sakey

2.0

I quite liked the premise for this series - 1 percent of the population developing brilliant abilities - but each book just seems to outdo the last in graphic violence and war and monstrosity and horror. This book in particular had much less about any brilliant abilities and was almost all about fighting and war machinations. I finished it for the sake of the rest of the series but didn't enjoy it much. Well written and certainly not bad but overly American and not really my thing.
