    <body><![CDATA[Fire is a beautiful woman who can manipulate people's minds.  She is at once loved and feared, and (desiring to do only good) is torn when asked to use her abilities against enemies of her kingdom.  I thought this book was just okay.  I liked the prologue about the monstrous boy who can control minds, but then it took me a long time to get into the rest of the novel because I kept waiting for that boy to reappear.  I thought it took too long for the plot to develop, and the romance was very predictable.  Eventually I did get into the story enough to care about Fire and the other main characters, but I also became frustrated with it because it was just too long.  The ending itself was good, but it took too many unenjoyable pages to get there.]]></body>
