This was a good book (around the same quality as Graceling). Perhaps my main qualm was that the book used Fire's beauty as the major plot device the entire time. The idea that someone is "so attractive that it causes problems" is interesting for a while, but when it became the entire book it got tiring. Also, the plot was a little too straightforward. I could have guessed it from page 20 (give or take some side-trips that Fire takes), which is a little frustrating from a literary perspective... ( )

Did NOT like this one at all. ( )

Väga veider, ma lausa ütleks, et kergelt skisofreeniline lugemiskogemus. Raamat ise märksa nõrgem kui sarja avaosa "Gracling" (eesti keeles "Võluvägine"), aga käest ära panna ei saanud.
Sündmustik suuremas osas etteaimatav, kangelanna ebausutav, stamp stambi otsa, aga kirjutatud oli nii oskuslikult, et aga mida kaugemale jõudsid, seda enam haaras. Huvitavaim osa raamatust oli kahtlemate kõik Lecki lapsepõlve puudutav, kahjuks oli see kogu Fire põhijoontes romantilisele loole üsna kunstlikult külge poogitud. ( )

I struggled a little bit with this one. I really liked the main character and loved seeing the world again. I also liked that it tackled some topics that I have never read in fantsay book before like pregnancy and sex and the consequences. Those topics are not normally talked about. I also really liked the found family elements that developed. But i felt like the plot was not as captivating and sort of like graveling less captivating. I am still really excited for book 3. This book did not wow me! ( )
