Fire is a very strog female heroine, with high morals, and a huge heart. Leck needed to be explained in the beginning, if not, the later part he played would not have made much sense at all - and his part was big, and it had a lot to do with who Fire is and what she had to do to save the Kingdom of Dell and those she loves.
Brigan, Nash, Clara and Garan, Asher, Rouen and Bocker were all fleshed out characters, and with their good and bad sides, they helped both Fire, themselves and each other towards a better world without war.
The plot was quite compliated, with a lot of enemies, and even some allies who turned out not being allies at all, however, it was well written, with wonderful descriptions of the world, the nature, the monsters and of the characters, I can 'see' in my mind how Dell looks, and it is beautiful in some places, but barren and grey in others.
The ending was bittersweet, but made a lot of sense. I look forward to the next book in this series - although I'm not so sure there will be any sightings of the charcaters from this book.
