A review by pseudopod
Birth of the Firebringer by Meredith Ann Pierce
I read this series many years ago as a kid, when I was very into magical creatures in general. I'm still finding the books to be very well written, with vivid characters and cultures.
This first book is the least interesting of the set. It's still a great, quick read, but mostly is setting up for the real meat of the story arc. It does have some very vivid moments, particularly the twists around the climax.
I definitely recommend the books if you're a fan of fantasy or xenofiction, and advise sticking with the series. The plot ramps up a lot in book 2.
