I loved Graceling and so I couldn't wait to read this "companion" novel. Some students had complained that the book wasn't about Katsa, the strong, KA female character in her first book, but I don't think author Cashore disappointed.
Fire, a teenage monster, can read minds, control people, and has great power. But she also has to hide in fear of other monsters and constantly keep men at bay because of her drastic beauty. Her father was a monster who used his powers for destruction and Fire must decide to use her powers for good or just run and hide. Similar to Graceling, the battle scenes and strong female character make the book, and the love story is pretty good, too. I'm still waiting for a sequel to Graceling though....
