Janice Hardy's BLUE FIRE is book two in The Healing Wars trilogy, and man, this book escaped MNS with a capital E. Do yourself a favor -- don't read this book before going to sleep. I made that mistake, and I was lying awake for nearly an hour -- after all that action, I couldn't relax!

Basically, it’s nonstop awesome.

If you didn’t read the first book, THE SHIFTER, let me set it up this way – pretend you’re reading a prequel to THE HUNGER GAMES and District 13 has just been blown to smithereens, Janice Hardy's BLUE FIRE is book two in The Healing Wars trilogy, and man, this book escaped MNS with a capital E. Do yourself a favor -- don't read this book before going to sleep. I made that mistake, and I was lying awake for nearly an hour -- after all that action, I couldn't relax!

Basically, it’s nonstop awesome.

If you didn’t read the first book, THE SHIFTER, let me set it up this way – pretend you’re reading a prequel to THE HUNGER GAMES and District 13 has just been blown to smithereens, and the rebellion’s pretty much done, the bad guys have won. But before there’s like decades upon decades of awful Hunger Games under an evil ruler, there’s this one girl who might be able to prevent all that, even though she doesn’t realize it. And like Katniss, she gets pulled into the middle of it all. That’s where THE SHIFTER begins, and BLUE FIRE continues her story.

Got it? Good.

I rarely read middle grade novels, and I generally don’t read high fantasies. But this is upper-middle-grade with very high stakes, and there are no elves to speak of. The world that Janice Hardy has created jumps off the page and envelops you.

First off, the entire trilogy’s premise is amazing – certain people can heal with a touch? Great, right? Take that wonderful-sounding idea and make it dark and twisted. Buy and sell it. Use it in a political war. Throw a fifteen-year-old girl named Nya in the middle of everything.

I love Nya for a number of reasons, but mostly because I always understand her choices. She makes tough ones, ones that cause people to die. And she gets herself into and out of dangerous situations with complete plausibility. Part courage, part luck, part skill, part stubbornness, plus a whole dose of sass.

In BLUE FIRE, Nya begins with the same simple goal that she had in THE SHIFTER – keep the people she loves safe. Unfortunately, because of her unique ability to shift pain from one person to another – an ability that’s unfolding into something a bit more – this is tougher than it sounds. The Duke of Baseer (the big bad) wants her, and he’ll do anything to get her.

Nya gets pulled deeper into political intrigue, further into the war that has ravaged her home and left her an orphan. In BLUE FIRE, she questions everything she believes, and she realizes that simply protecting her loved ones might not be enough.

BLUE FIRE is an action-packed middle novel – of course, it ends on more of a cliffhanger than THE SHIFTER, with more loose ends to tie up, but it provides an excellent bridge to book three while being a satisfying story on its own.

If you’ve read THE SHIFTER, definitely pick up BLUE FIRE, which came out this week – it’s worth it! And if you haven’t begun THE HEALING WARS yet, it’s time to start!

It was great!
After my enthusiasm for The Shifter was unshared by my family, I got worried that I wouldn't be impressed with the sequel; now that the magic system was less novel, maybe I would realize that the rest of the book wasn't as fun as I thought. I shouldn't have worried.

Though the magic is still a strong selling point, there were many other things that I like in Blue Fire. Topping the list is humor. The whole story is told with a wry and endearingly understated wit. It is easy to share It was great!

Though the magic is still a strong selling point, there were many other things that I like in Blue Fire. Topping the list is humor. The whole story is told with a wry and endearingly understated wit. It is easy to share Nya's optimism when one is smiling at her clever jibes. I also love Nya for her capabilities and her fallibility. Nya is quick on the uptake, figuring out everything that the reader does. She is resourceful and bold, taking things on the fly with only-in-fiction audacity. At the same time, she has emotions that not only merit description but also interfere with her judgment even when she doesn't realized it. Hardy does an excellent job of giving her first person narrator coherent, consistent responses that are believable but clearly irrational.

I really like the way this book examines a number of ubiquitous genre assumptions. For example, one rescue attempt involves grappling hooks and shinnying up ropes. These ropes and spikes, however, are subject to real-world physics and employed by less-than-miraculously-adept adventurers. They become utilitarian objects, rather than a lazy trope to get our heroes on or off the roof. In another example, fight-scene banter is so painfully melodramatic that the characters can't help but wince--they know it sounds dumb, but it's the best they can come up with under pressure.

I also enjoy the very quick pacing of the story. Things happen quickly, with little time for ruminations in between. Talking, and even thinking, are not free actions--Nya and her friends are frequently interrupted or surprised when their time and attention are focused on explanation or decision making. The quick pace in part means that Nya can struggle with moral dilemmas but not agonize over them. The book does not explore the moral issues that it raises, and many are bypassed entirely, but (at least for me) it brushes up against enough questions to send my thoughts in the right directions.

I am a bit disappointed that Hardy does not explore the magic system as much as I had expected her to, but she does make good use of it. And instead of expanding on the "quirkers" and their abilities, Hardy chooses to fill out other aspects of her world. There is a well-developed culture, history, and structure behind what the reader sees, even though little of it manifests directly in the book.

I'm looking forward to reading the next one! ...more

Blue Fire is the second installment in the Healing Wars books. While I really enjoyed the first book, The Shifter, I will admit Blue Fire left a little to be desired.

Nya's powers have continued to develop since book one, and she is struggling as she tries to use her new abilities in the right way. But things don't really go as planned with the Duke and his people continually hunting her and other Takers.

Janice Hardy is a rock star—no, wait! She’s a novelist. But she rocks.

Nya, a shifter (a specially gifted person who can shift pain), and her little band of friends, along with the Baseeri underground, are the only hope for the future.

Setelah kejadian di Healers League, Nya jadi pahlawan. Penduduk Geveg berterima kasih karena stok pynvium yang menipis terungkap. Sayangnya, ga semua bersikap begitu. Sang Duke menyebarkan pengumuman bahwa Nya adalah buronan dan harus segera ditangkap, yang berhasil menangkap Nya akan dapat 5000 opa. Tapi semua orang tahu bukan karena tuduhan itulah Sang Duke kepingin dapatin Nya. Semua karena kemampuan yang Nya punya.

Selain bisa shifting rasa sakit, Nya juga punya immune terhadap sorotan pynvium. Dan kedua kekuatan itu yang memicu sang Duke untuk menangkap Nya dan menjadikannya prajurit pribadi.

Sayang, karena hadiah 5000 opa itu, nyawa Nya berada dalam bahaya, terutama oleh rakyat Geveg sendiri. Beberapa yang tamak, berhasil membawa Nya hingga ke tanah Baseer untuk dikirim ke sang Duke. Penangkapan Nya juga mengorbankan Tali, Danello, Aylin, dan beberapa Taker lainnya.

Setelah sampai di tanah Baseer, Nya mendapati beberapa hal mengejutkan. Di antaranya tentang beberapa pembelot, seorang Baseeri yang entah bagaimana mirip dengan ayahnya, dan hal tak disangka-sangka yang melibatkan para Taker. Sang Duke tak cuma membuat sebuah senjata pynvium yang bisa memindahkan rasa sakit, seperti bakat Nya, laki-laki itu berhasil membuat beberapa prajurit Taker dengan senjata pynvium berisi rasa sakit yang dahsyat. Prajurit itu disebut Undying. Selagi menolong Tali dan teman-teman yang lain, Nya berhasil melakukan sesuatu yang akhirnya membuat sang Duke marah, dan hampir-hampir membuat keributan di antara penduduk Baseer.

Pemberontakan harus terjadi, sang Duke harus digulingkan. Bagaimana caranya? Ternyata masih ada pewaris yang terisa. Siapakah pewaris tersebut? :D

Ceritanya bagus, plotnya cepet. Dan setiap karakter punya perkembangan sendiri. Terlebih Nya dan Jeatar. :D

Selama baca buku ini, aku sadar bahwa perang di mana pun kejadiannya akan memicu pemikiran siapa yang menjajah dialah yang salah. Dan kesalahan itu bukan lagi dituduhkan ke individu melainkan satu golongan. Terlihat dari bagaimana orang-orang Geveg membenci dan mencemooh rakyat Baseer, padahal rakyat Baseer sendiri juga ikut menderita dan bersedia membantu mereka.

True Vyand put Nya through hell and pretty much ruined her life, but she made up for all of it at the end when she gave her the ride! And throughout her running after Nya she didn't, not even once, look down on Nya, on the contrary she held some respect for her and thought they'd be friends if the circumstances were different.

Okay now Jeatar! Lord! He is going to be the new Duke!!! Who could make a better ruler than the thoughtful, helpful, smart, witty, and funny Jeatar. The man is not only a master mind but also a nice guy. All those people he helped?? I mean really? He risked so much for everyone.

Now Danello! He's like the sane guy in this whole story. The one with real family he can't leave. The one who actually sits things out and tries to think them through, even though he rarely has the time for that after meeting Nya. But u love his carefulness. Simply because we don't see it much.

Then Ceun. This lil lock picking, wall climbing, hole fitting thief!! I adore him! He's like a small male version of Nya! He's so funny and true to his colors.

So characters aside! God! I cried at the end when Nya realized that she can't save Tali, for now. And laughed so hard whenever Nya and Vyand talked. My favorite scene has to be the one where Vyabd handed Nya to the Duke! I mean she knew. She was SURE Nya was gonna get out and sure enough? She did!

But all the excited down I'd have to say the most touching most thought provoking scene that I read a couple of times was Nya's determined fight with her mind being controlled. She took full control of her power, full control of her mind she thought for herself and didn't lose. And that it why this story is one of the few best. ...more

This book struggles with something that I've found most middle books in a trilogy do: pacing. The first and third books are usually full of action and excitement, with the second book feeling more like a filler or placeholder story. For most of the time I was reading this, that's what I felt like - it was the book whose sole purpose was to bridge the other two books.
