Fire

Maybe 3.5
The author went to great lengths to describe what Fire was thinking, which took a long time (to me). This book is also said to be in a series with the author's other book, “Graceling”. However, I have found that not only is the main character not Katsa, it is in a completely different land. The only relevance between each book is that they're in the same fictional world and the same boy is in each book. The author also ended the book in a melancholy manner, and it is my personal taste to like at least somewhat somewhat happy endings, but again, that is just my personal feeling. All in all, I guess it was a pretty good book.
