Fire by Kristin Cashore
5.0
I absolutely loved this book! Fire was a fantastic character, I was completely in love with her from beginning to end. My heart broke for her time and time again. She had so many hardships in her life, but she persevered through it all with such grace. She continuously made painfully hard decisions, all for the good of other people. It's so ironic that she was called the "monster" throughout the book, when it was others actions that seemed so monstrous.
Each person in this book brought something powerful to the story. Archer was another of my favorites, he was someone I couldn't help but care for. Even at his worst moments you knew that it mostly came from a good place. There was a time when I was rooting for him and Fire...I guess really until Brigan came to take Fire to the King's city. The more I got know Brigan the more I fell in love with him too! Him and his whole family!
There were quite a few surprises in this book. I don't want to give too much away, but oh man that treacherous boy!! I really did not see that coming. It was interesting how the author tied this book and the first book together. The other twists and turns really had me reeling as well! It definitely brought the feeling that no one was prefect, there were evil people capable of kindnesses, and also great people capable of great fallacies. It really spoke true, because really that is the nature of all people. No one is ever 100% evil, nor good. I love that this book conveys that message. Honestly, I could go on all day about this book, it quickly became one of my favorites. My only, half hearted complaint would be that Kristin Cashore definitely likes to take something that most of society thinks makes a women a women away from her characters. In the first book it was Katsa's femininity, and in this book it was Fire's ability to have children. Regardless of that, these characters still remain to shine, maybe that's the point! I'm really looking forward to reading Bitterblue next :)
