Fire Dance is the third book in the Fire Wars series. The series has a dystopian feel combined with mythology. The story picks up in the middle of an epic battle between the water gods and fire gods. Chance (aka Mars), is a fire god, and Varun (aka Neptune) is a water god. Mac, also known as Vesta, is caught up in the middle of a love triangle between the three. Though she is in love with Chance, she is still drawn to Varun. Despite their differences they must decide if they can work together fo...more

This is the third book in the Fire Wars Series… and WOW each book in this series just gets better and better! Just when I think that the last book has reached the highest level of awesomeness… out comes Fire Dance and it honestly just blows it away!

This book brings to us the dystopian feel… without overdoing it… and mixes in the mythology… which I personally think is the greatest thing ever… it also give you romance and this book proves a lot of action as well!

Fire Dance is the third book in Kailin Gow's Fire Wars series and I swear it just keeps on getting better.

This is also my favourite series by Kailin Gow as it combines two things that I love: Dystopia and Mythology!! This series will seriously draw you in and leave you begging for more. Between the characters, the action and the romance you wont want this to end!

Kailin has taken what I loved about the previous two books combined it and then added more action! So basically this book has made what I loved into something I am borderline obsessive about! The book throws you right into the moment where book two ended and practically broke my heart. It was fixed but I temporarily had an issue due to my serious crush on Chance and what was going on. However the feeling did pass... Mostly. I am a little over zealous when it comes to Chance. Ah who am I kidding, when it comes to Chance all bets are off. But I am rambling now so lets move on because I know it's going to happen with this review.

Mac is a strong and easy to love character that is now facing even bigger decisions this time than last. This includes the decision between Water and Fire. She feels the pull of fire and feels that it is her true place but when she takes a leap into the water side of things she can't deny that she enjoys its feel as well. It's like just when she starts to get the swing of things, she is tossed into chaos again. However many of he questions have now been answered so she is not the helpless question asking girl that she was. She is all about the action and kicking butt and just as determined to protect her friends, family and the people of the post erosion.

Although the romance isn't as up front and centre as it has been, it is still very much there and important. Although there are times that I feel like shaking Mac and screaming due to her almost indecisive moments, I feel that this continues to be one of the romances I enjoy the most that carries a close triangle feeling. Mac has made her choice but there are times that she is forced to question it but ultimately her heart always pulls her the right way. Well the way I want it to go I guess I should say. The fire, dedication and passion always seem to have a stronger hold on her. For those of you groaning over the dreaded triangle word DON`T. There is justification in this one and by this book it is virtually gone.

Chance is changing too. He was once a wall of stone but his defences seem to be wearing down. He doesn't want to be burned a second time by Vesta (aka Mac) and even though he will fight to the death for her he wont loose her again. The side of him that I am seeing more of just makes me love him more and more. There is nothing about this guy that doesn't scream "JUMP ME!" Well something like that at least. I almost literally hang by the pages when Chance is there. At some point Chance helps Varun and shows that he does care but only to an extent in which he doesn't loose Mac. Varun isn't in this book as much as the others due some unforeseen circumstances and although I kind of missed him, the amount of Chance made up for it.

The story in this one is kind of pushing everything forward and really gives you some new information. I mean information I didn't even realize that I was missing out on. This is partially because of the war that is now in full swing and it could mean the end of what is left of our world. Water is raging for control and everyone is now involved in saving what life there is left out in the world. You will find yourself shocked and many times holding your breath and hoping for the best because lets face it: in a dystopia world where Gods are fighting, anything can happen.

If you haven't already START THIS SERIES!! Along with all of the stuff I have said this book is written with Kailin Gow's signature no nonsense straight to the point writing style, which is fast paced and doesn't have a dull moment. Every time I think that Kailin can't do anything to improve upon the previous book (in any of her series really) she blows me away with something new mixed in with the old. Of course the heart pounding romance and the steamy Chance scenes are still in this one which will make every page extra worth it!(less)

Let me just say, this is a great read for those who enjoy mythology and stories of the ancient Gods, their loves and their passions and jealousies! In book one, Fire Wars, we meet Mackenzie and her mom who have moved from Angel Island to Aeros Island. Her mother works for Cutler Enterprises as an event coordinator. MacKenzy will finish her highschool years at Aeros High which is anything but a normal high school. She is immediately attracted to Chance Cutler , wild, angry, passion filled and so HOT!!! But she is also drawn to his cousin, kind and gentle Varun. Book Two, Fire Stones, we learned more about the embodiments and that everyone at the school has some sort of embodiment developing within their skins. Both Chance and Varun believe Mac to be the embodiment of Vesta...and in order to further prove herself as Vesta, she sets forth to find the stones Vesta created and hid. One of the stones was hidden in Abzu's treasure, calling Vesta to retrieve it. And that brings us to the third book in the series, Fire Dance, which revealed the actions of the emerging Gods and Goddesses and a war between Neptune (Varun) and Abzu, a dark character who wants power to destroy the entire world and make it a planet of under the sea, and subject to his greed and rule. It was action packed, with the passions of love taking a back seat to the action. This still left Mac feeling torn between the two cousins and she knew she needed to make a decision between the two. Even her Father, Zuess, encouraged her to make her choice soon...to once and for all cease the animosity between the cousins and cease their suffering. But Vesta wants one more thing before she decides.....she wants to know the love of........?
Perhaps Book four will reveal what Vesta really wants. But can Vesta and Mack actually live as one entity?

These books are so well written and draw the reader in from start to finish. I am amazed by Kailin Gow's ideas and by the smooth writing style and I'm SOOO looking forward to Book Four, Fire Test due sometime in 2013....coming soon to a bookstore near you!!!!! And You and You and me too! (less)

This book was way more than I expected it to be. I loved everything about it. It had the right amount of action,romance and the plot was well written. This is the third book in this series and jumps right back into the action. We pick up on the story with Mac having to make some tough choices and hurt some people along the way. I loved that the author could write a love triangle as more than just that. I had a hard time deciding who I liked more as I loved Varun and Chance for different reasons....more This book was way more than I expected it to be. I loved everything about it. It had the right amount of action,romance and the plot was well written. This is the third book in this series and jumps right back into the action. We pick up on the story with Mac having to make some tough choices and hurt some people along the way. I loved that the author could write a love triangle as more than just that. I had a hard time deciding who I liked more as I loved Varun and Chance for different reasons. Varun allowed Mac to live her life on her terms and be whatever she wanted to be even if it would hurt him in the end. Chance just seemed to have such a calming affect on Mac. They were both such cuties too and truly wanted what was best for Mac.

The world building was phenomenal in this story too. The author made the island they lived on seem so lush and beautiful. The descriptions made me feel like I was on the island with the characters and really drawn into the world. I loved the way she described the water world too. It just seemed mysterious and yet so mythical and breathtaking. I loved that the people in the town accepted that there were Embodiments and let them live their lives how they wanted and didn't hold that against them. I also loved that they were finally willing to fight to protect themselves and their families.

Mac really came into her own too and embraced her Vesta powers. I loved seeing such a strong side to her and seeing just how powerful she really was. She was truly like a different more aware person. I liked that she was ok with making the hard choices even though she knew the outcomes weren't always going to great. She was willing to sacrifice herself for all that she believed in and I loved that about her. The author wrote such a strong heroine and that's just the way I like them to be. I don't like the whiny types that have to depend on guys for everything. Overall I loved this book and highly recommend it to lovers of mythology reads and lovers of a great book and awesome love story. It was action packed and it felt like the time just flew by and I was done reading it before I knew it. I wanted the story to keep going and hated that it had to end.

Kailin Gow does it again! Fire Dance escalates the Fire Wars series into a faster-moving and heart-pounding ride. This third installment to the dystopian fantasy series brings more action, more knowledge about the god and goddess embodiments, and more tough decisions. Before, with every step of progress Mac made to learn more about her past life as Vesta it seemed that she'd take two steps back, fighting for her life. As the war against Abzu rages, Mac must choose which powers to finally embrace...more
