A review by kidawalker
Mortal Fire by Elizabeth Knox

5.0

This is a perfect story.

Knox takes her time laying the groundwork and erecting the frame that will shape her novel. I anticipate she'll lose some less patient readers along the way, but that's alright. This isn't for them. It's for those of us who do see, or want to see, magic–a little Extra–everywhere.

Many things come together in this story: magic, adolescence, family, ethnicity, science, romance, the power of nature, and the golden taste of good cider.
