A review by ithinktfiam
Children of Fire by Drew Karpyshyn

3.0

Ok for what it is: the setup for the series. In a world where they have a devil/daemon story with a bad guy stuck in a not all that disguised hell, he tries to escape by forcing the birth of his savior. Four different kids born share components of his ancient power. They each grow up in troubled lives and the book is just the setup to that. Too many characters are a bit to standard, including "kung fu monk", differently named elves driven by hubris, religious nuts, and more. Still, it's not bad, just not above average. I'll check out the next in the series.
