<![CDATA[new comment from Suzie]]>
http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/233335-fire-spoilers
Suzie made a comment in the YA Book Club group:
I finished reading FIRE and was actually not disappointed at all. I was hesitant, especially at its opening because the idea of brightly colored "monsters" seemed like it would be a little harder to buy into.
But I loved Fire. I liked that she wasn't as confident in her abilities as Katsa (how many teenage girls can really be as confident as Katsa?). I liked that we got to watch her grow in her abilities and grow comfortable with herself. And of course I liked that (similar to some themes in GRACELING, Fire faces tough choices that test her emotional and physical strength. She is forced to think about the morality of her actions and the actions of others, to really examine the good and the evil in the world around her and determine her part in all of it. And when she finds herself in trouble, she doesn't wait for her love interest or anyone else to come save her. She saves herself.
I also thought it was fun to see completely different characters and a different world rather than see Katsa and Po face new bad guys (I love them, but I don't want to read another fantasy series that goes downhill because the author is reaching for new conflicts). I'm definitely looking forward to BITTERBLUE.
