Sunrunner's Fire by Melanie Rawn
5.0
I loved SUNRUNNER'S FIRE and I love Melanie Rawn's writing. I love the epic fantasy-ness of this series thanks to the awesome world building, characters, relationships, political intrigue, and the ethical/moral issues the books explore.
While DRAGON PRINCE is my favorite book in the series because I adore Rohan and Sioned, I loved SUNRUNNER'S FIRE because it’s the end of the trilogy and most of the events that had been brewing from the beginning came to an end.
One of my favorite aspects of the trilogy is the <em>farahd’im</em> (Sunrunners) and <em>diarmahd’im</em> (Sorcerers). People who are born with <em>faradhi</em> gifts are sent to Goddess Keep to be trained in the sunrunning arts of weaving light using the power of the sun and moon, call fire and wind, and conjure images of the future. The <em>diarmahd’im</em> have been in hiding for hundreds of years because of their differences with the <em>farahd’im</em>. They also weave light, call fire and wind AND earth and water, and produce conjurings, using the forbidden power of the stars.
I loved that the Sorcerers had a more central role in SUNRUNNER'S FIRE. We didn't know much about them before this book so I loved learning more about their powers and finding out why they hate Sunrunners as much as they do.
I'm really glad I reread this trilogy and I hope to start reading the Dragon Star trilogy (sister trilogy to Dragon Prince trilogy) within the next couple of months. I’m excited to find out what happens.
