The Fire Child by S.K. Tremayne
3.0
I really wanted to love this book, I had such great expectations and jumped straight in after reading the blurb. Sadly it just wasn’t what I was expecting, although it did keep me turning the pages.
For me this book was a very slow burner, set in Cornwall I often wondered if I was reading the right book as it just felt too descriptive and I found myself skimming pages. Don’t get me wrong, I love a book that gives you the setting in detail and it makes you feel like you are there along with the characters but this just felt too much and just wasn’t for me. Great for anyone who may be interested in the mining industry in Cornwall though.
There aren’t many characters in The Fire Child and I didn’t feel like I really connected with any of them. I often felt like there was more to be told about them, but that didn’t seem to be the case.
The Fire Child does a have a good story in it though and I did find myself at maybe about 70% in wanting to find out what happens, it was just a shame it was a struggle to get there but this is just my opinion and I’m sure that lots of people will love this book.
