I absolutely adore this book. It was a favorite of mine in high school and it is just as lovely to read again as an adult.

I really enjoyed this book, even more than Graceling. I stayed up until the wee hours of the night just to finish it. Fire's world is fascinating, as are the burdens that she carries for being a Monster. My heart broke for her and some of the choices that she had to make in her short life. A captivating tale.
