Fireborn by Katie MacAlister

4.0

Thanks to the publisher for an ARC to read and give my honest opinion.

This is probably the best book of hers lately, I'm not a fan of her humor books. This is an actual prophecy fantasy book. She usually has a ton of romance in hers but this one is all about prophecy and very little romance. So the prophecy is about a son born to rid them of Harborym, an evil presence that has taken over his mother's land.

What did I like? First...this is not like her other recent novels, with the wit and sarcasm. I really enjoyed a fantastical journey ....that from the ending, will have several more parts. This is an actual novel with a great story. The characters are great, and while there is a blooming relationship, it is but a teensy part of the story. I loved Allegria, who was such a fun and charming character.

Would I buy this book? Yes, given its part of a series, and since I've started I would really like the next part. I think people who love fantasy will love this epic tale of prophecy.

Thoughts for the author? Keep writing books like these. I kind of hesitated asking for this one because since the light dragon books I haven't really dug into your books even though I have them all. This book however was written differently, and I really enjoyed it. Four fantastic stars for fantasy!
