Fire is a human monster who has been hidden away for years because she is so beautiful that most people who see her go out of their mind. Plus, she has the ability to be able to take control of people's minds and make them do whatever she likes. Her father was an evil ruler in the kingdom of the Dells, but after he dies and with an impending war she is brought back to the kingdom. Along the way she has to fight off monster raptors, men who try to do her harm, her best friend Archer who wants to marry her and her budding feelings for one of the princes. This was a book that was so full of plot twists, characters, suprises, romance and set against a fantasy type backdrop that I found it consuming my life for two days even at work because I couldn't put it down. For the sake of comparison think of the Lord of the Rings Trilogy, where you have multiple kingdoms and creatures. Some of the content might be questionable for anyone under 14 because it does make overt, but not detailed references to sex and rape. I have to say that I will be reading a lot more of Cashore's books in the near future.
