I placed a library hold request on this book along with the others, but then someone weeded the one remaining copy from the system. Fortunately for me, I was able to get a copy from ThriftBooks, and this was one of my favorites in the series anyway.
Since I lived in deadly fear of fire when I was a child, I'm not sure why I always liked this book so much, but it is full of vibrant, beautiful pictures and an action-packed story that resolves the various remaining plot threads from the series story arc. It also ends on a hopeful note, looking forward, and I remember loving the description of Kaya's deep emotions about her land and her people.
The historical note is dead honest about the impact of white settlement and broken treaties, but even though this book is still clear about the problems that were ahead of Kaya's people, it ends on a happy note with her growth, maturity, and anticipation for her future.
