Student book reviews


A review of “Fire” by Kristin Cashore

BY MEGAN LENANE

In this book, the main character Fire lives in a world where beautiful, deceitful monsters are everywhere. A monster could be any animal from a miniscule insect to a fierce panther. These monsters have the amazing ability to capture and control anyone’s mind with their extraordinary beauty. Fire is one of the very few people that is not affected by these monsters, but it is not because she knows how to shield her mind from their power; it is merely because she is a monster herself. The book shows how Fire deals with her power to be irresistible when young king Nash asks her to assist him and his younger brother Brigan by reading and controlling captured enemy spies and prisoners’ minds. Fire soon begins to struggle with what she thinks is right and what will be best for her crumbling country. Cancel your plans because once you start this book, you won’t want to put it down.
