A review by caseey
The Fire Child by S.K. Tremayne

3.0

If I was rating this book on atmosphere alone, it would undoubtedly deserve all of the stars in the world but sadly the plot didn't rivet me as much as I expected it to after enjoying Tremayne's previous book as much as I did. It picked up in the last quarter or so and finally drew me in as the situation grew increasingly terrifying but the twist towards the end was so far fetched that it caused me to become disenchanted all over again. Tremaine does a ten out of ten job of portraying his characters' distress but overall the build up just wasn't enough for me; I also felt David was particularly underdeveloped. Maybe I just wasn't in the right mood for this book or maybe my expectations were too high because overall it fell flat for me hence barely having the motivation to write anything but such a lacklustre review as this one.
