A review by jennswan
Birth of the Firebringer by Meredith Ann Pierce
5.0
I first read this book over thirty years ago, as a young teen, and I couldn’t put it down. All this time later, the memory of the story was fairly vague, but knowing how much I loved it, and discovering that it was the first of a series, piqued my interest in reading it again.
While this edition, at least, has several mistakes that should have been caught in editing, I still feel after rereading it that this book is worthy of a positive review and rating. True to my middle school self, I’m giving it 5 stars, though I would probably choose 4 stars now. Still, a great book from the point of view of a unicorn and his people. I enjoyed the references to the circle, and natural rhythm of nature.
