«[Cashore] will slake the thirst of TWILIGHT fans - PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Cashore's prose is smooth and unobtrusive. But for all its lightness of tone, GRACELING is not a simple novel. Indeed it deals with some very difficult subject matter. Its inevitable love story is sweetly unconventional and unabashedly feminist. Katsa herself is a rich character. The growth of her trust and self-esteem is the understated heart of the novel. This is always Katsa's story and enjoyable fast-paced it is too. An immensely fun, good-hearted read - SFXCashore creates believable characters with enough depth, subtlety and experience to satisfy older readers...An impressive first novel - BOOKLISTThere are some books that stick with you for years, and Kristen Cashore's Fire is one of them. Thoughtful, steamy and completely original, Fire is YA fantasy at its absolute best - Sabaa Tahir, author of New York Times bestselling Ember in the AshesReaders can enjoy this novel without having read Graceling.

A must-read title for all fans of Patrick Rothfuss and Trudi Canavan, FIRE is an exceptional fantasy novel. From the deft characterisation to the gripping story, the fast-paced action to the evocative prose, this is one of the strongest fantasy novels of the year.
Set in a world of stunningly beautiful, exceptionally dangerous monsters, Fire is one of the most dangerous monsters of all - a human one. Marked out by her vivid red hair, she's more than attractive. Fire is mesmerising.
But with this extraordinary beauty comes influence and power. People who are susceptible to her appeal will do anything for her attention, and for her affection. They will turn away from their families, their work, and their duties for her. They will forget their responsibilities to please her ... and worse, crush nations, neglect kingdoms and abuse their power.
Aware of her power, and afraid of it, Fire lives in a corner of the world away from people, and away from temptation. Until the day comes when she is needed - a day when, for her king, she has to take a stand not only against his enemies, but also against herself ...
"Fresh, hopeful, tragic and glorious" -Kirkus Reviews, starred review
"Shot through with romance and suspense. . .This is Fire's story, and readers will fall in love with her. . . Marvelous" -SLJ, starred review
Medlemsvurdering:
Fire er minst like farleg som ho er vakker. Ho er eit monster i kroppen, og eit menneske i hjarta. Fire kan manipulera sinnet til menneska og dyra ho møter, i tillegg til at ho er slåande vakker. Kombinasjonen er dødeleg. På Trass av makta som desse evnene rommer, er Fire redd for kreftene sine, og nekter å ta dei i bruk meir enn naudsynt. Ho er redd for kva dei vil gjera ho til. Men tidene forandrer seg, og det brygger opp til krig i heimlandet. Og kongen ynskjer å ta i bruk det mektigaste våpenet innanfor landegrensene. Fire. Er Fire villig til å fira på krava sine, for å redda heimen sin og alle dei ho elskar?
Ei spennande og fengane bok, som er sterkt avhengighetsskapande. Les den!
