Birth of the Firebringer by Meredith Ann Pierce

5.0

I’m mad it’s taken me this long to find this book. I’m not sure how it stayed hidden, but I’m glad it’s finally been uncovered and wish more people to find it.

It holds the classic tale found in animal centric fantasy akin to the similarly named and more known Fire Bringer by David Clement-Davies; a familiar pattern of prophecy, growth, and charm. But what this book has that others don’t is more heart woven between 200 pages of lyrical lines than I’ve seen in something as far reaching as a thousand.
