Fire Country Review

** spoiler alert **

Great read. Fast paced and keeps you on your toes.

Some stuff that I didn't find convincing:
1. Roan was a jerk the entire book, there is no need for him to be nice in the end and say he loves Sie. None. She would have gone over to confinement anyways to get Raj out. Also, someone would have eventually asked the same question Roan asked Sie about why the Icers keep them out if they have the cure. Circ would have asked.

Also, (I guess there is more than one thing) the battle was just over. I didn't see anything happen. I didn't get to see how Roan was hurt, how they won really. I know the Marked came in to save the day but how many were there? Was it enough to just slaughter the Glassies because there seemed to be a ton of them....

Anyways...The POSITIVE:

I was so mad when Circ died. I actually had to stop reading and just pick it up the next day. (I had the same feeling when Prim dies in Mockingjay.) It's amazing how much emotion a good author can get out of you. This book knocks all of The Evolution Trilogy and Dwellers Series out of the park. Much better and the others were good too.

The funny thing about Circ dying is that I'm usually very anti-love and hoping one of the love birds gets killed to get the romance out of the book. I can't help it. Little younglins in love just doesn't work for me. Regardless, I wanted Circ to stay alive. Not really for the romance, but their friendship. I was smiling like a goof when I found out he was okay.

Finally, I love how strong Sie is. She's clutzy and small, but she realizes how strong she is. AND, she didn't need Circ to do everything she did. She got all of that strength from other females. FINALLY. I LOVE strong female characters.
