She is the last of her kind...It is not a peaceful time in the Dells. In King City, the young King Nash is clinging to the throne, while rebel lords in the north and south build armies to unseat him. War is coming. And the mountains and forest are filled with spies and thieves. This is where Fire lives, a girl whose beauty is impossibly irresistible and who can control the minds of everyone around her.

Exquisitely romantic, this companion to the highly praised Graceling has an entirely new cast of characters, save for one person who plays a pivotal role in both books. You don't need to have read or heard Graceling to love Fire. But if you haven't, you'll be dying to listen to it next.

Enchanted? Also listen to Graceling.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Piercing and elegant." (The Horn Book, starred review)

"Fresh, hopeful, tragic and glorious." (Kirkus Reviews, starred review)

"Readers can enjoy this novel without having read Graceling. And enjoy it they will, with its vivid characters, convincing fantasy elements, gripping adventure scenes, and memorable love story." (Booklist, starred review)

What an excellent read this was!

I was excited to read fire, having just finished Graceling not too long ago. I was captivated from the very beginning of this book. Following Fire throughout her journey was an endearing adventure in every sense of the word. I loved the new characters, and was interested to learn more about the ones I already knew. If you liked Graceling, you will love Fire. Kristin Cashore has done it again, yet this time it is bigger, better, and more entertaining than ever before!

Better than the first book.

Keep things moving at a good pace. Interesting characters and ideas. Built a very good world around you. Keep u interested in what would happen.

best of her books

best of her books, amazing mental story. characters are wonderful wish she made them as old as they speak and experience

so good.

This whole series is so good. it is impossible to stop listening. I have been staying up too late listening. the reader does an excellent job. 10/10

A Wee Bit Dull

Any additional comments?

I don't know if it was the enormous shoes Fire had to fill or what but this book fell quite flat. The world building is still great and the characters are lovable enough, but the inner struggles of our heroine get a bit repetitive for my liking. I still DEFINITELY RECOMMEND Fire for anyone who wants to continue the Graceling books.

I see the connection but...

it was so hard for me to follow. I sincerely think it had a lot to do with the voice of the reader. I was so confused and struggled to finish this book. but I did for the sake of bitterblue. thanks anyway.

Great characters and realistic plot

Fire is an interesting character in that she is young in years but mature way beyond her years. Yes she can be childish and immature at times, but over all, a great strong female.

Its interesting this book per-dates book 1 of the series but neither book is less because of that fact. both stand on their own.

I like how some of the animals are integral parts to the story and have their own personality. Whether the horses or dog they add to the story and not just an object in the story.

Enjoyable and entertaining story with a strong female lead.

Great Story

Really good story; Interesting characters and suspensful; recommend to anyone who likes fantasy as well as action.

Amazing

The story was everything!! The woman who did the audio was fantastic!! 🙌🙌🙌
I laughed and cried so many times. So beautifully done.

Good Story

Again, great story but , again, had problems with Katsa's accent. Changingfrom a full cast to one narrator was a problem. Turn off.
